CARPE DIEM #756: Summer Relief


Inspirations by Jane Reichhold:
a cool wind   
summer passes 
before it begins

late summer  
even hotter by the breath  
of dragonflies

mid-summer   
the sadness of knowing  
days growing shorter

by Kristjaan:
naked 
between summer flowers  
dreaming of next summer

tears shed   
on my naked body  
summer is passing


My haiku:
needing relief from
torrid temperatures… too soon 
 summer’s charm passes

sharing with Kristjaan's


Hoosier Quote:
“In order to live off a garden, 
you practically have to live in it.”
~Frank McKinney Hubbard~

Passing summer charm
Heated beast, smouldering breath
I melt, I melt, I . . .

complaints of heat
long since forgotten

Pondering about My Blog

I've been through quite a bit these past months that I haven't posted.  First, packing and moving and then unpacking . The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
