Stop teasing
Come closer
I see you
Spending
All day
Hanging out
On the perimeter
Yes, I know
It offers the most
Sought after views
Of the blue skies
The location
Where you look
Your brightest-
But you cast
A broad shadow
Perfect for days
Like today
Couldn’t you
Float on over
And provide
A spot of shade
Not even asking
For a drop of rain
Maybe a breeze
Thirty minutes tops
That’s all I’m asking…
After multiple days of one-hundred-degree temperatures, trying to lighten the mood. I am holding out hope for a few cooler days this coming weekend. There is even a slight chance of rain. Fingers crossed!

Ouch. No wonder you are writing about clouds and shade. Take care.

Yes!! Kelley, your poem is beautiful. This is our 4th straight week of no rain. We hit a record of 103 yesterday (108 feel-like temp). This heat wave has been brutal! I understand. My poor cousin’s basement flooded near St. Louis yesterday. They had record rain fall. It’s either feast or famine! Do take care my friend. Always sending thoughts and prayers. 💛💛💛
