Summer Heat

parched earth whining for
single droplet of water -
crimson sun blazing.

flush of anger drive
the trifling clouds to hideout -
lone sun ruling sky.

I love these 'parched summer writes.' I really do. (You can view the haiku I wrote for the contest). But our question might be: What will the sponsor think of such scenes and settings? … Oh, well: To thine selves, be true, Poets!! lol. Take care, Jenish. :) Gershon

Absolutely true! The Sun has grabbed tight the reins of heat and spurred it into scorching rays! Every refreshing breath is a blessing from God! So powerful and unique an imagery that holds a reader's attention! So pleased to read, Jenish! Best regards and blessings.

Dazzling blazing sun captured in words, the drought in brevity. Kudos for this great haiku! Plz pleez do read and comment my newest piece, a prose and do also read the articles and data I have copy pasted in comment section below the poem so you will confirm the matter further.
