Hot Spell

Heat

A desert afternoon

Dogs baked flat in the yards

 

The mirage Shangri-La

Condensation on jars

Author's Note

Think it's short? I was originally going to go with just the first two lines.

It is great: little bullets of lines that shoot straight to our hearts with their pictures. This is the brevity and eloquence that is poetry. It doesn't have to rhyme, it doesn't have to be long, it doesn't have to be filled with arcane rubbish of silly words no one uses. It has to SING. Yours SUNG.

Thank you ever so much Annie, I think that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said about any of my work.
And, if it doesn't sound to arrogant coming on the heels of praise, you show a remarkable insight into the nature of poetry ;)

A unique write. I don't get it ( except from the title )but I like it...:)
