Hot Sultry Summer Air

Pantoum

Hot sultry summer air.

Clouds gather filled with rain,

float by leave water rare.

All wait relief from pain.

 

Clouds gather filled with rain,

leaving a small sprinkle while

all plants wait relief from pain.

Frogs hear thunder for miles.

 

Leaving a small sprinkle while,

crickets, birds,bees with all

frogs hear thunder for miles.

Sunflowers enjoy; grow tall.

 

Crickets, birds, bees with all.

Float by leave water rare.

Sunflowers enjoy; grow tall.

Hot sultry summer air..

Sara your words carried me back to a hot summer day on the front porch. With the smell of fresh squeezed lemonade, tomato sandwich with a dash of hot pepper relish and a sweet pickle. Just praying for rain to cool us off.

Atmospheric poem with a very interesting structure that helps create the almost ubniquitous permanency of the sultry air . I especially liked the line: Frogs hear thunder for miles.

All of life is in need of the rain, a beautiful poem. I love the way you used this poetic form to write about nature. I can feel the hot humid air.
