#Summer #Heat 24 Seasons…

Growing heat grounds us
a cloudless sky is sizzling
elusive sea breeze

~

The longest heat wave
uncontrollable wildfires
A blazing summer

~

The ducks swim calmly 
even the sun dives in
seeking some respite

No leaf is stirring
wind chimes are quiet today
blasé birds sit confused

~

A bizarre battle –
indignant Mother Nature
mankind is callous!

  1. What a stunning photo!! Balroop, I enjoyed your summer haiku. The heat has been brutal everywhere. We’re getting the rain from Hurrican Beryl, right now. We’ve already had a couple of inches since yesterday. 💜

  2. wonderful poem , Balroop. I enjoy it all and find smiles and depth.

    This quote from one stanza shows the heat but also is so funny. The photo bears your words out.

    “even the sun dives in
    seeking some respite “.
    🤗❣️

  3. Such a different experience from Sadje who talks about the wind chimes tinkling, and monsoons. I love the phrase, “even the sun dives in seeking some respite.” I’m glad it doesn’t tire of shining in real life, but I love the picture your words paint, Balroop. 🙂 🙂 xxxx

    1. Thank you Marsha. Isn’t it amazing that we are writing about our experiences and sharing them though we are sitting in different zones. All thanks to Colleen for the prompts.

      1. It is amazing how important the weather is to all of us, and how similar some climates are to others in opposite parts of the world.

  4. The heat is coming through in everyone’s poetry, Balroop, and yours are no exception. I practically need to turn on the fan! Wonderful, my friend. Stay cool!

    1. This was the longest spell of heat this season. Usually it relents after 2 days. Thank you for chiming in Diana, much appreciated.

  5. All your words chosen paint a vivid color of your summer. Even the sun dives… up until now it (sun) was unaware of how powerful it was. Oh golly… but sun is sun. Have a cool summer, dear Balroop. Lovely poetry.
