June Heat Poem by Barry Middleton
June Heat
the heat has arrived
the first tropical storm
eastern waters are restless
the hot blue sky is seamless
creatures seek the shade
at dusk the breeze calms
darkness brings a tempering
cooler air settles like fog
the air is wet and thick
sunset is the only fire
night and sleep are death
uncertain rest cannot last
heat is temporarily at bay
the sun will wake it at dawn
the sun will wake the world

A beautiful descriptive write. Lovely imagery. June heat in my place is terrible. At yours, nights are at least cooler. But with the morning sun, the world wakes to terrible heat. A nice one.
I have always loved the summer heat in Florida. But the last two years have been harder. I still swim everyday and roast an hour or so at the pool. Thank you for the comment. May a cooling breeze come your way.
