In Heatwave Conditions Poem by Francis Duggan

In Heatwave Conditions



In heatwave conditions of many days of over thirty degrees
Thirsty El Nino in the warm sun and the breeze
Is sucking the last bit of moisture from the dry ground
In places of drought conditions healthy crops not to be found
It does seem that the warm weather is here for a spell
Humidity and heat does not mix very well
In the bedrooms at night the buzzing female mosquitoes do bite
For to lay their eggs human or animal blood they do need in their diet
Though the cooler Autumn weather with every day drawing near
Summer in South East Australia can be a very warm time of year
The warm and humid air full of the noise of buzzing flies and bees
The weather not pleasant when the temperatures rise above thirty degrees
The laughter of children cannot be heard in the park playground today
The weather too warm for them to go out of doors to play.
