Creative Challenge #218 - Hot

Summer's heat quenched with
Cane juice and watermelons,
Sugar-palm  fruits and buttermilk.

You walk by, Cool as a cucumber
Holding me with a smoldering look
My quenched thirst , thirsts again.

Saunter through here for more CC #218

Ghosts of Past Love

If I ignore you,

Would you evaporate,

Like the mighty mists under rising sun?

 

If I ignored you some more

Would you disintergrate

Like the nightmare I woke from?

If I ignored and deny ignoring you

Would you become a secret part of me

I would never know exists,

Yet, comes out every once in a while,

To haunt my seeming existence?

I am Thankful for

I am Thankful for

FOR THE WIFE
WHO SAYS IT’S HOT DOGS TONIGHT,
BECAUSE SHE IS HOME WITH ME,
AND NOT OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE.

FOR THE HUSBAND
WHO IS ON THE SOFA
BEING A COUCH POTATO,
BECAUSE HE IS HOME WITH ME
AND NOT OUT AT THE BARS.

WHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING DISHES
BECAUSE IT MEANS SHE IS AT HOME,
NOT ON THE STREETS.

FOR THE TAXES I PAY
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I AM EMPLOYED .

BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE
BEEN SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS.

BECAUSE IT MEANS
I HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.

I AM OUT IN THE SUNSHINE

BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE A HOME .

I HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT
BECAUSE IT MEANS WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

BECAUSE IT MEANS
I AM WARM.

FOR THE LADY BEHIND ME IN CHURCH
WHO SINGS OFF KEY BECAUSE IT MEANS
I CAN HEAR.

IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM ALIVE

BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE FRIENDS WHO ARE THINKING OF ME.
