Gentle sway with breeze
Seat’s heat abates, laughter fades
Aestival evening
~*~
==========================
sultry aestival zephyr's puffing
as elated lilt's playing - I'm huffing
abdominal heftiness
yeah! it exploded! SUCCESS!
OOOPS!!! earphones plugged in ears . . . they're laughing.

~~~~~~~~~~ ^-^ ~~~~~~~~~~
Alluring nymphalid brandishing its ala
Cavorting trees as sultry monsoon gusts
Gleaming aureated daystar delineated in ripples
Enticing milieu under quixotic aestival moondusts.
Dehydrated rivers in a sudden, scrounging an incessant deluge
Red - charring enthusiastic sun fired like hell
Complicated seasonal change - puzzling...neurons evaporating
Tormented - dried terrain, vista...jiffy alteration - no well.

Pellucid crystalline water casts
Balmy aestival breath gusts, -felt
Gleaming golden daystar mirrored - rusts
Salmons plunged, grass hugged, nestled - belt.
Unfathomable river flows
Lilies dance through the undulation
Quiescence, tranquility grows
Rendezvous for such meditation.
Trees sway rhythmically - bowing
Robust cervids drink obscurely - down
Birds tweet in bliss, now they're soaring
River runs through it, Light is its CROWN.
