#Weekly Tanka Prompt #Poetry Challenge – Week 103 – Summer & Breeze
Free verse: Summer and Breeze
a long spell of summer
hot and haughty
humid and depressing
glaring Sun
sucking water from your body
leaving you
dehydrated
water scarcity
hits you hard
perched throats
yearn for
cold water
and some relief
all seasons
are importance
but living
happily
through
ten months summer
is tough
heart yearns for
a cool, comforting,
and
pleasant breeze
Sharing Thoughts 
Love it, and oh so true, I feel for you, copping in the heat, but here in NZ, it is so cold, and I’m looking forward to summer. I’m a summer person I can take the heat, but winter, I find very hard to bare, I cannot get warm, only in my bed with an electric blanket, but I never sleep with it on, we have a heat pump, not an open fire, which I miss, after all the years on the farm with one. So much for that ramp, I should be thankful for what we have, a good home. Cheers. happy writing.

Thanks, dear. I have never suffered from that much cold. We look forward to winter for some respite from heat. Though it’s my own choice to live in a coastal area. No complaints. It was just for writing I wrote about summer to make a good contrast to cool breeze. Cheers, Happy writing. It is becoming an addiction.

10 months of summer? oh my! I have people here who think they would love that….maybe this summer of 88-102 F will change that.

Well, almost. Highest temp goes up to 44/45 but it’s humidity which makes it worse. December, January are most pleasent months.
