Summer Elements

Summer comes with a sweltering iron Mashed on the growling flowers— Though sun may stick upon a leaf, All life's skin craves the steam. Mashed on the growling flowers— When the bulbs' expressions out at last, Though sun may stick upon a leaf, To catch hot pain is now my norm. When the bulbs' expressions out at last, Though sun may stick upon a leaf, To catch hot pain is now my norm— Summer comes with a sweltering iron.

Paige, you have captured the ambivalent personality of summer perfectly. While we love the warm day we don't look forward to sweltering heat. So many levels to this poem. Well done! Blessings to you for a cool breeze on a hot day!

I have written a few pantoums and know they are not easy (though I learned a trick or two). You did a great job. Brilliant imagery too.

I like a short pantoum. This one seems metaphorical to me, Paige.

You do this form very well dear paige. So well woven and flows in such eloquence with so much depth that made me think and feel so much. Especially loved“ Though sun may stick upon a leaf, To heat blind hurt is now my norm—” just beautiful! How descriptive! Pleasure reading your work always: sending you light

can feel the elements come to life in this pantoum: "Mashed on the growling flowers," absolutely memorable line
