Janice Canerdy Poet Footle

The Children and I Face Summer

climbing
running

laughing
sunning 

hoses 
spraying

outside, 
staying

till past 
sunset

Happy?
You bet!

~~~~~~~

summer 
swelter

seeking 
shelter

fanning 
sweating

sighing
fretting

turn up
AC

now I’m 
happy

Sam Kauffman June 17, 2022 at 10:25 AM Love celebrating summer - even the sweating and sweltering - with you Janice. So descriptive. I can feel the heat of a summer's day. Congratulations. Blessings! Janice Canerdy June 18, 2022 at 7:00 AM Thanks so much, Sam! Highs are mid- to high-nineties with heat indices of 105 in Mississippi! Janice

Connie Marcum Wong June 15, 2022 at 3:43 PM Excellent Footles Janice. For the first seven years here in Hawaii I lived without A/C. I barely wore clothes. I grew up in sweltering heat without A/C. I spent a lot of time at the A/C library. It is good I love to read. Congratulations on your wonderful win. Blessings xxoo Janice Canerdy June 15, 2022 at 3:47 PM Thanks so much, Connie. We didn't have ac--or indoor plumbing or running water--till I was almost grown! Janice
