Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Tonight a Breeze Is Stirring

Hot as blazes summer days
  die gasping for breath
A hazy curtain of humidity
  stifles the earth to death

But tonight a breeze is stirring
  injecting life in the air, so 
I bid adieu to my steaming house
  and went to sleep out there

Jennifer Proxenos June 1, 2022 at 12:50 PM In Greece a great majority of houses have a flat roof, families lock up the house and go upstairs under the starry sky, with a mosquito can, to avoid the heat of a home. Well penned Gershon. Hugs, blessings, Jennifer.

John Lawless May 31, 2022 at 6:25 PM Yeah, it went from 90 yesterday to 63 today.....man did that feel good....

Mike Bayles May 31, 2022 at 1:04 PM How nice. Such an inviting ending.

L Milton Hankins May 31, 2022 at 8:41 AM Ah, that seems a wise choice. I remember those days before A/C when we would sleep out on a blanket out in the yard. The cool mountain air was so pleasant. Those were the days, my friend....

Ilene Bauer May 31, 2022 at 7:50 AM thank goodness for those breezes, gershon! i hope we get one today - supposed to be in the mid-90's - ugh!

Heidi Sands May 31, 2022 at 7:40 AM Thankfully you had that breeze Gershon. I hope all is well :)

Kim Rodrigues May 31, 2022 at 4:31 AM How lovely to enjoy the breeze, Louise! ;)

Judy Ball May 31, 2022 at 1:29 AM I can't seem to sleep without my fan even though my bedroom in downstairs in the basement. I still need the air moving. Nice job. God Bless, JB

Connie Marcum Wong May 30, 2022 at 9:25 PM I am so thankful to have air-conditioning or a fan. We have centipedes here so sleeping outside doesn’t appeal to me. They are very creative at getting inside. I certainly remember those long hot summer nights. Very good Gershon. Blessings xxoo
