Heat (Haiku)

by Sylvia   Jul 27, 2010


Sweltering, sultry
oppressive summer heat breeds
stormy, rainy days.

    A beautiful picture painted with so few words. I love how you were able to make such a wonderful piece with so few words making great imagery. Good job and keep writing.

    Nicely worded. I like how you penned this haiku, describing the weather before the storm.
