Down ~*~Down Soaked and saturated sponge of breath held cheeks Clouds emptied to the thirsty sage relief now speaks Pour the overwhelming spill Pour the parched horizon fill Steam, eludes to heat exhausted to be cool Clear the air of Jupiter slaking dismal rule Down ~*~Down Upon the gasping tongues of trumpet flutes Hour shower that oppression mutes Drum upon the wind a whisper Heard in monotone the hot suns blister Pour the sparkling seltzer new again Pour another cup remember when Down ~*~Down To see through shirt and tempo new Wet the smile of warbler true Lessening the weighted air Lightning strikes on hazards fair Drip dry dreams a moment’s pause Quench the cracked dry earth because Down ~*~Down The surface gleams Still thirsty are these damp daydreams Copyright Kkh 07/16/05 |

This reminds me of the bits and pieces of Hurricane Dennis that we're experiencing. It isn't all that bad here. Actually, it's somewhat refreshing to get rid of the muggy July feeling. I wish it had been kinder elsewhere! It is always a pleasure to read your work; I so enjoy how you apply sound to image. miscellanea |

To see through shirt and tempo new Wet the smile of warbler true Lessening the weighted air Lightning strikes on hazards fair Drip dry dreams a moment’s pause Quench the cracked dry earth because Down ~*~Down The surface gleams Still thirsty are these damp daydreams May I have another tall, cool frosty karaft of this....wonderful! |
