The Middle West, the East, the South, are having a heat wave.
They are wondering how to cool down, their energy to save.
I'm here in the North Pacific West, enjoying a cool breeze.
A fine summer day is forecast, the opportunity to sieze
A ramble amongst the flowers, a never ending thrill.
Such beauty never fails my soul with happiness to fill.

The radio is forecasting heat, eighty degrees or better.
I know that by the evening, I'll need to don a sweater.
In the meantime I'll enjoy a perfect summer day.
I wish it could last longer, before winter comes our way.
Our benign Pacific Ocean never brings a hurricane.
With all of our other blessings, I don't mind a little rain.

By Joyce:  8/8/01

Joyce:  Charming poem!  We really are blessed in the Pacific Northwest. (I won't mention earthquakes.)

Made me sweat. :-)  Even in the air conditioned sultry south. Good job... great imagery!
