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

   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.

Wow...that was...WOW.  Beautiful...DAGONIT!! Why can't I be that good?!  I felt my very worries and dried sense of humanity quenched with your words.  WOW!
