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
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.
