HEAT

*

The beat of heat

From the sun

Caresses my skin

Draws out the sweat

Helps me forget

Winters chill

Unquenchable thirst

I need a draught

A refreshing waft

To shoot the breeze

And be able to breathe

The Onset of Winter

The Onset of Winter

Sullen clouds, dark and menacing
Hang in the sky.
The air is damp and cold –
Frozen fingers, nose and toes.
Drip, drip, drip from the branches
Hanging down towards the ground.
Winter’s start. Sudden, fierce, chill.
Not forewarned, but expected
Nonetheless.
