Sunday.. Lazy Hot With a Threat of a Storm.. Short poems..

"Poetry is either language lit up by life or life lit up by language."
~ PETER PORTER

"Poetry's a zoo in which you keep demons and angels."
~ LES MURRAY

"Poetry is... a kind of leaving of notes for another to find, and a willingness to have them fall into the wrong hands." ~ MATTHEW HOLLIS

shimmering costumes~
a princess behind the mask
arms lifted for beads

Bubbles~

eyes closed
I blow
emptying my heart..
The sad bubble rises
carrying my woes
heavenward

It has been very hot today.. the kind of hot that leaves you lazy.. wanting to nap beneath a blowing fan.. Air conditioner on high.. I think I could have slept.. but I never tried.. Dogs wanted walking and then as soon as we were out they wanted in.. the computer took it's own time.. ignoring me all day.. and sooooo.. today has been a trial.. thankfully it is now almost over.. Tomorrow is a Poetry club meeting.. Yay!!! That means out and about.. I love out and about!
Thanks for stopping by my blog .. Have a great Night..

I'm kinda tired of hot, aren't you? I'm starting to toss all the potted plants as they are as tired of summer as I am.

it could be worse: we've had our third summer of rain on the trot. What I wouldn't give for a bit of hot!

I loved your poems, especially the second one.
