Extinguished

Beaded sweat gathers
in pools of salty droplets
on smoldering earth
Here in the valley of death
where known life evaporates

I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose. Thanks for checking it out. Christine

    1. Thanks Pat. Years ago I lived in Texas and in August when the temps were in triple digits you would have to run from your car into a store because your skin would burn on that short walk 😳😅

      1. Wow! I spent a year in Miami. The heat got to me. I spent half the time dreaming about the changes in seasons in New York. Couldn’t wait to get outta there 😊

      2. Yes it’s a toss up between hot and cold. I settled in Florida where I always refused to live 🙄
