the dried grass is brown,

our summer air a sauna

way too hot for most

air conditioning on freeze

i run outside to warm up...

Sad unmoving air
Humidity wilts flowers
Animals search for water
Sauna-like setting
Barren ground is parched, dry, cracked
Miserable hot summer...

icy-hot,
as the shine resumes, 
after a cold rain.
unlike a hot Summer day,
I embrace the sun,
with car windows up,
and detoxify,
in a late
Winter sauna,
sunny side up.

Funny thing happened on my way to the sauna
Met a strange-looking man carrying an iguana
Perhaps a family pet
Not many friends I'll bet
Iguanas have the ability to cause a trauma...

Muted colours filter through

My louvred window and I

Grudgingly unsleep my slits ~

Waking up to a sauna sunrise

Insignificant
This dust
A void
We trust
This is real
Magnetic solids
Fate is sealed
Whatever
You call it

So struggle still
Churning fauna
In constant flux
Earthly sauna
Show me
The end
If it’s soon
I can't defend
Synthetic moons...

Palm trees fingers stretch in the sweltering breeze,
bending over graciously,
It shelters Mr. Bluejays retreat,
Above, clouding blue skies prepare to shower,
No movement in this afternoon sauna,
Life must wait for  South Carolina sun to settle....

During a power outage, some people got trapped on an escalator
Sounds silly to me but hopefully, they'll all be rescued later
But the result is a trauma
Best advice is a sauna
Come to think of it, it's a lot better than on an elevator...

Limerick : Once a Poet used an harmless Word

  for Andrea D.  &  Catie L.

Once a Poet used an harmless Word
Word over-use connotes slicing Sword
Sword decapitates sense:
Poet’s sauna incense
Now Word’s Wraith rants on Kerouac Road.

Listen to poem:

August feels much like a hot, humid sauna,
Ushering in the dog days of Summer's end.
Gladiolus, little swords, sway in the breeze,
Under the mid-day heat of a blazing sun.
Summer’s leaves will soon start to flaunt Fall colors,
Transforming green into scarlet and orange....

There once was a boy name of Rick
So ugly he made his girl sick,
When nighttime descended
The girl soon repented
And loved him quite lickedy-split!

There once was a girl name of Donna
Who spent lots of time in the sauna
She might once have been pretty,
And her titties were bitty,
Ugly Rick still thought her Nirvana....

You slip into my dreams each night
Lovers walking hand in hand
We ease into that special place
Only lovers understand

We hold on to each other
Two bodies becoming one
The room becomes a sauna
We make love till the break of dawn

We lie there by each other
Not wanting this to end
We hold to every moment
Wanting to do it all again...

Thousand utensils
cookie crumbles on the floor
Enough garbage to feed Rhode Island
Relaxing sauna for dead poultry

Cookie crumbles on the floor
Each lunch lady’s ear is in tune with the system
Relaxing sauna for dead poultry
Keeps it fresh

Each lunch lady’s ear is in tune with the system
Enough garbage to feed Rhode Island
Keeps it fresh
Thousand utensils

Juicy sweat trickles down my back, the
Undulating fan, noisy, weakly blows
Lethargic gusts of dazed and drugged humidity in
Yellow-crusted corneas, blinded by desert dust

Steamy, simmering hot Santa
Ana air, dragon's breath mirage, melting
Unrelenting internal inferno
No relief for the next week, then
August arrives.

in a state of chill
i am lost in a world long lost
revisiting here for a few days is like my heart skipping rocks in a hot tub
my mind is in a sauna of contentment
my soul is on a wraparound deck overlooking lake whatchamacallit
chocolate covered paradise
vanilla based effervescence
the cherry on top is the peaceful breeze doctoring my tested sanity
my body temperature is back to balanced
in a state of chill...

My eye's are blinded by a radiant brilliance.
Engulfed by a sauna of rays.

Enlighten me mother!
Guide me through the darkness.
Shower my eye's with your beauty.

Let me walk down the vine draped hillside.
Dress me with your wisdom.

Fill my life with what you have to offer.
Let me taste the untouched dew of your cup.

Perhaps someday I could return the favor; 
And I too shall become apart of your lesson....

Listen to poem:

long awaited summer
school let out
freedom within my grasp

a new pool next
to the sauna cabana
built by dad

life was perfect

little did i know
youth was slipping
through my fingers

In cities of affluent urbanity,
why are kids so rare in the vicinity?

In backseats of their glitzy cars,
no tots there licking choco bars.
Instead they have beribboned cats
or manicured dogs wearing hats
going to sauna-spas for pets,
some to clinics of doting vets,
others to lawyers for insurance
or pet's fabulous inheritance.

You may call me an old-fashioned hillbilly,
but without kids, you just don't have family !...

Diet always on my mind…
When in bed, in bathroom, 
When taking showers
When in the gym, in sauna, swimming pool;

When looking in a mirror
Taking pictures with my cell…
Comparing myself to other women…
And so on and so forth…

Then good intentions leave me
When I enter my walk-in frig…
I give myself a brake…
Another solemn promise:

‘I ATE, I EAT
And do so in a future!!!
No Regrets and Self-Recriminations!!!
Hell with Diet!!!’...

Nature

Name me an ardent disciple to polygamy
For falling head over heels with botany.
Would you compel me to pipe an apology
For my nuptials with beauty of zoology?

Mine is an irreconcilable and sweet plethora
Which has deeply dipped my heart in flora
For, I simmer in Nature’s rippling sauna
From where sprang Earth’s teeming fauna!

Jealous Guard with inescapable capture.... 
I love you sweet Suitor, I love you Nature!
