Summer Rispetto

SUMMER RISPETTO Each evening rain clouds wrung out and put on line to dry out in the blistering fever sun. The twilight child bubbles up with tears and whine as Summer storms signal that the day is done. The jagged night brightens and loud priggish swine sound off — the climatic Gettysburg of guns. The Southern gentlemen in electric fight astride the hidden stars until the sun bites. 7/25/2018 Rispetto abababcc with 11 syllables Picture Me A Summer Contest Sponsor: Barry Stubbings

I love this enigmatic rispetto, Kim- ambiguous artistry here- I cant claim to understand it- but it " sounds down " in a dramatic way- especially appreciated " The twilight child bubbles up with tears and whine...( an overtired toddler?)

“Like” an emotional child. We have Summer storms in the South quite often because of the daytime humid heat. Thanks you, Aqua!
