As Summer Gets Personal🌞
( a Sonnet )
My bedding stripped down to a single sheet,
With two fans at cross purpose in the room.
Warm currents twisting overhead that meet,
Both rain upon my scantie’s print of bloom.
A silhouette of sweat shows off my form
Upon the mattress as I soak the sheet.
I beg your pardon I was misinformed,
It’s truckers from the runoff-flooded street.
So many round the world are feeling Fall.
For people in the southwest of the States
Who water lawns & endless shop the malls,
Enjoy the A/C till day’s heat abates.
The way it often goes as Summer leaves,
When trick-or-tricking on All Hallow’s Eve.

As folk deal with the elements behavior apt to change
who knows where it takes them unlimited the range

Dear J-P,
Sweetly touching. The imagery here- I see the room, visialize shoppers and sprinklers watering lawns. Now I want Halloween candy. This is a lovely write! H🌷

Very few in the southwest of AZ are watering their lawns.
When i lived in Scottsdale there was water rationing going on
and here in the Tuscon metro area we just let Gaia's monsoons do the watering.
Gorgeous wispy felt spill
I am looking forward to my favorite season......autumn

Terrific, natural flow, as the seasons themselves, turning slow and steady. Details fill out the mental imagery. Harmonious use of form. <3

Dear Ethan,
I wanted to catch up with comments at least, because such dear comments as yours linger without a response, so I’m doing this before I run out of energy...
I’ve been a poet all my life, just came by it naturally. There are always other writers who think I’ve had all kinds of formal training. On the contrary, I’ve gradually learned over the years, and till my last breath, I’ll still be learning. Once you think you know it all, you start to stagnate. Dylan sang ‘He who is not busy being born is busy dying.’
I say all that to say this: based on a fine poet such as yourself with words like “you make it so
seamless & flawless”...
I’m a humble pen-pusher, my friend, brought to my knees by the honor.
Jade 🙏🏻

Where I live, it will be 100 degrees until Mid October. I can certainly appreciate the seasons changing but your sonnet brings a smile to my face.
Good luck in the comp.

Aah, there you go, Wally, a fellow poet after my own heart. It sounds like you live in a similar weather pattern. While feeling the pain, I’m glad my little Write made you smile.
