Pinwheel






I don’t miss raindrops;
they’ve had their day.

I don’t miss March,
April, or even May;

especially when I see
the sweat

trickling down your back
and hope you

pick me
to throw into your sack.

For two prompts.  Margaret Bednar at Imaginary Garden with Real Toads wants us to drip with heat…err summer.  This gorgeous photo is hers.  If you’ve gotta have more go here.  You won’t regret it!  And Peggy Goetz wants us to Feel the Heat in ten lines or less at Poetry Jam.  She’s an excellent photographer as well.  Go here to see more.  Happy summer!
