Mercury remorsely rises
and torridness
- Publicité -
is all over the place
as the red sign shows and glows,

the deserts drawing closer,
closing in,
the cold trade raking in
rich takings, splashes ever
more the rage;
shutting doors and windows
is exhorted to stem swelter
and sweat, open spaces
so delightful given a miss,
only under shades to hide
and hydrate; it is nothing less
than a global warming
phenomenon, earth turning
into a cauldron of ire,
keeping warm around a fire
no longer necessary
only where the mercury plummets
at the other extreme end, sadly;
but some fine lines
to spin despite the misery
remains a desideratum,
the spider in the bard with webs
of words eager to proclaim
some victory over adversity,
for the wilting world sparing
some thoughts.
