Kim at dVerse Poets hosts “rain” quadrille (44 words) prompt this week…
mist hangs thin veil
covers landscape,
shrouds horizon.
sky heavy with humidity
air’s mood presses in,
mildly claustrophobic;
when clouds cannot rain.
hair hangs thick veil
covers face,
shrouds emotion.
heart heavy with futility
mind’s mood presses in,
wildly claustrophobic;
when tears cannot reign.

“Time Travel: Ancient Japanese Poetry” with Chèvre at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai
Even a breeze may fail me
When I desire it.
Little I should grieve,
If only, sure of its coming,
I could await even a breeze.
waka by Princess Kagami (7th century)
extreme summer
wrung out from humidity
even breeze feels hot

At d’Verse Poets today, Toni invites us to write about the “dog days” of summer…
not gonna miss ‘em
our dog days are over
weather cools to 80’s
summer humidity drops
we can breathe again
heat made us both pant
my sweet silly Lily girl
husky-lab fur face friend
her final breaths labor
humidity of tears drop
105 fevered body cools
my dog’s days are over
oh, how i miss her !
Lily: faithful friend, walking partner, and quite possibly the best dog ever!
