This is the middle of summer, and a second heat wave is here. What do most of you do? Do you go to the beach, and jump into the cool ocean? Or, do you lie in the sun hoping to get a tan? Maybe, you dive into your pool, and later barbeque some burgers, and gulp down a cold beer. Do you go out to eat, as more and more of us, do not want to cook when it’s hot? …As for me;
I think it is a great time to WRITE that Story or Novel! (Especially, if you have air-conditioning.)
HEAT WAVE BY Paula Perron
The hot sun is sneaking through my windows
Reminding me of its power
I close the blinds, and sit down to write
For another hour
A fan is sitting on my desk blowing ice cool air
I keep on writing with little care
When it’s lunch, I take a break
Eat a sandwich, and a piece of cake
At 3:00 P.M.it is ninety degrees
Even so I am cooled by the Fan’s breeze
In the afternoon, four chapters are complete
I print the pages to keep, change, or delete
The sun sets telling me it’s time to end the day
My reward…a drive to the diner leads the way
