blazing sun
evaporating
wet rivers
peaceful days
sultry climes scare residents
long, hot days ahead
Sultriness beckons
blazing sun
evaporating
wet rivers
peaceful days
sultry climes scare residents
long, hot days ahead

I can completely relate to heat and humidity, Reena, though I’m sure it’s much worse where you are. Great poem!

Oh, I can see why it would be hot and humid. And such a huge city! Makes our US cities seem “small” by comparison!

I can feel the oppressive heat from your words, Reena. You also get high humidity as well, don’t you? Stay in the air conditioning. Thanks for sharing the view outside your window. 💛

Your poem perfectly captures the feeling of impending summer heat. The contrast between the “blazing sun” and “evaporating/wet rivers” is striking and effectively conveys the idea of the changing season. The line “sultry climes scare residents” is particularly powerful, as it emphasizes the discomfort and potential danger of extreme heat. Overall, your poem is beautifully crafted and evokes a sense of both anticipation and apprehension for the coming summer. Well done! 👍👏👌😊
