Lawd !   Its hot !

Birds walkin' 'round

to stay clear of da sky
and d' hot sun beatin' down

Lawd !  Its hot !

Crick aint even wet

Catfish jus' hangin' on
by swimmin' in dey sweat.

Lawd !  Its hot !

I been wearin' tractive things

Like blue... to draw da skeeters
So's dey kin fan me wid dey wings

Lawd !   Its hot !

Crawdads in da stream
Already been steamed

Lawd !  Its hot !

I'm glad I'm redeemed !

What did I like about this poem? What didn't I?  I loved the 'voice', the image, and feeling the heat in my mouth as I read.  This is one helluva poem!

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.

more then this taking me through the long hours of the heat of today, this took me back in history, to the swealthering southern states, when they wore heavy cloths way up to their necks...and down to their toes, covered up EVERYTHING...and it made me think, how horribly hot it must have been then, think about the cloth and materials that were available...surely hot hot hot, gwad, no air conditioning...how did THEY put up with it...because they had to right?

enjoyed this and you

Africa hot
