I'm joining Beverly A Baird & Linda Schueler in a "year long poetry practice – on the first Friday of each Month," when we, and anyone else who joins, writes a poem and pairs it up with a photo relating to it.
We've had house guests off and on all summer. I had to sneak away from the grandkids this morning to scratch out this little ditty.
It's hot. Really really hot. Forty-four degrees in the shade kind of hot. The official forecast doesn't show this, but our backyard does. I took this photo of our heat pump thermometer after it had cooled down somewhat this afternoon.
Thankfully our neighbour has a swimming pool that they share with the neighbourhood.
dog days
eggs sizzle on the sidewalk,
leaves shrivel on the vine,
but the pool is cool and refreshing,
so we are coping just fine.
You have certainly captured those hot days of summer. It has been a scorcher this year. It has been so humid as well which just ups the temperature. So glad you have someplace to enjoy to cool off.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you were able to sneak away to write this little ditty. And I can totally relate to it too! It's been a scorcher this summer where I am too.
