Fair to middlin' of nowhere

Wind chimes harmonize
on the relentless summer wind
Green dressed branches
dance in time to the tune
It is my summer song
Lilting through my window
serenading from the patio
The melody puts me in mind
Of verandas and mint juleps
and an exaggerated southern
“Its not the heat, its the humidity”
And the shade finds it's self
under a billowing cloud
that shows promise
of a turbulent storm
The chimes practice
for their concert
and light show
in the coming rain

Very beautiful, dear Lori. "It's not the heat, it's the humidity", exactly what we say here all the time too.

I am in for a mint julep while listening to the wind chimes ...

Perfect atmosphere to feel summer.


Love,
Margherita

What a lovely song -- and I laughed.  In the winter, we say, "It's cold, but there's no humidity!"
