Summer Cinquain
Cool breeze—
antidote for
oppressive heat, sunny
sun, sticky clothes, sweaty foreheads—
proceed.

Hi Lori, I enjoyed your cinquain and “proceed.” Ready for autumn, yet loving all the green again in Wisconsin! Ellen
Thank you, Ellen.
There’s still plenty of brown on our lawn, but maybe yesterday’s short rain will help. I think it’s time that, like you, I ready myself for autumn. I’m still in denial.
Oh my, I could have quoted this yesterday! It was baking-hot for our picnic and this cinquain describes it perfectly. Proceed faster please!
Okay. Maybe I am getting ready for fall. Just can’t take the heat any more. I’m glad I was spoiled and in A/C yesterday. I remember when I was a kid…just dreaming what it must be like to have air conditioning. Thanks for dropping by the patio. You are always welcome!
Ha! I did a little talking to the unprevailing breezes yesterday, too. And we have greened right up with more rain. However, I notice it’s all dandelions and crab grass. Sigh. I enjoyed your poem!
“unprevailing breezes.” I like that.
We have more weeds and brown in our front yard than we’ve ever had. By far. Always good to have you sitting on the patio for a bit.
That was as refreshing as a cool breeze and lovely too
Thank you kindly, Winsomebella.
I like the beat you put on the words with your modern punctuation. it so works for me.
Those em dashes know how to work it
. Glad to see you smiling today. Been thinking of you, Resa.
September marks the beginning of Spring for us here in Oz. Your oppressive heat is our delight of moving out from the cold of winter to the warmth… Soon though, in a few short months, I will be lamenting the close of Spring as the temp rises to unbearable heat… Ah well, that’s life; it sure is a mixture..!
Loved your rhythm; it worked beautifully..
Ah, Carolyn. Are you from Australia? I had no idea. What fun to hear from you about your weather. Thanks for commenting.
Yes, just think of us in the reverse… When it’s your day it is our evening; when it’s your Fall it is our Spring, etc. The Internet though; allows us to communicate so effectively it ‘cuts’ through those limitations…
It is now 8:15 am Thursday morn for us… Enjoy your evening…!
Many thanks. Enjoy your day!
Thank You Lori…
I just thought; if you go to my blog and click the audio button http://abcofspiritalk.wordpress.com/2012/09/05/red-panda-reflection-2/
you will ‘hear’ my Aussie accent… It can’t be mistaken. I’ve been told it has that definite ‘Aussie’ ring to it… haha..
What fun. I’m glad to “hear” you.
You have a pretty voice and a lovely, unmistakably Aussie accent, though here in Wisconsin, USA, we’d say Australian.
Thanks Lori… Aussie/Australian; either way it is unmistakable..
Bye for now….
