Lovely imagery, Mary, we could do with some sun here in Ireland. I have been entertaining my little ones over the summer so I havent been Magpie-ing much, nice to catch up.
Brigid - Thanks, I would love to send you some sun; we have been getting baked here. Good to 'see' you again - always love your Irish yarns. I hope you and the family are having a good summer.
Green - Green? Thank you; glad you stopped by. I liked your piece very much, and look forward to reading more from you.
Nicholas (Nic?) - Yes, I noticed there are a lot of heated poems from this prompt. Of course here, in the mid-west we are in the midst of a long heat spell. Thank you, and thanks for following!
I think the signs and symptoms (a nurse thing) of a superb poet is the ability to paint a clear picture with few words and images. My diagnosis of you is obvious: superb!
Beautifully done, Mary. I love "weighted down by heat I drag the sun behind me" — I know that feeling too well.
