summertime big tent poetry #16 wordle


Summer zeroes in a stream

Cars baked from heat

A dry plant in a pineapple forest

Silk hose to surround . . . moisten

Glass blown pots . . . now deep

    It certainly is hot this summer (hotter than the past summers it seems). Wonderful post!

    Beautifully done, Pamela. My fav line is... 'Silk hose to surround... moisten'. Delightful!

    Can't get much more boiled down than this, and yet it makes a fine sense.
