Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge
Happy July! It’s the first challenge of the month and poet’s choice of words!
Summer Heat
The pitter-patter
Soothing rhythm of the rain drops
Faded in the midair
Blazing on my head and face
Is the scorching summer heat
The Showers of Blessings

Yes, Robbie, the winter rain helped a lot for the fruit trees. We don’t get rain in the summer.

Thank you, Yvette, I need enough syllables to make 5, 7, 5, 7, 7. I’ll spend more time with it later.

Oh i had no idea you were goong for a syllable count! So i test my case! Snd leave it as is – and that is why i noted i kniw hat sometimes people use conjunctions and articles – snd even repeat lines a few times – for different reasons –
— and so see you were going for a syllable count –
Anyhow – i hooe it was not rude of me
To speak up so frankly

Not at all, I read more contemporary poems now. They are more of prose than poems except lining up like poetry form. Some poem forms actually have repeated lines in the subsequent stanza. One example is Linda Patan’s poem I re-posted not long ago.
