Sweltering Poem by moon batchelder

Sweltering

Rating: 5.0


sweltering, sultry, southern heat
simmering under stormy skies;
clouds that clamour bring no relief
clinging and cluttering - yet deny
a dropp of rain to reach the ground.
no remedy offered - what right to remain?
grumbling thunder rumbles around
empty threat teasing the window pane.

'malcontent! ', muttered my muse in disdain,
'i s'pose you'd prefer a class 2 hurricane.'
