Funny (Not Really) Foto #74

When I started my car this afternoon, here is what I saw:
 

 


















The perfect (heat) storm of

1. A hot day
2. No wind
3. Blacktop

Welcome to September, Cleveland.  

(And apparently my dashboard needs a good cleaning.) 

New Poem: 60° F

By Michael Seese

The break in the recent heat wave inspired me to write the following:

60° F

Last night, 60° Fahrenheit.
A welcome relief from July’s grief.
Windows wide, nature now invited inside.
What a treat. Crickets no longer compete
With the droning fuzz of the a/c buzz.
Their song carries on ’til the birds, at dawn
Wake and greet the sun, a chorus of tweets.
The subtle breeze softly rocks the trees.
Whispers arise, the leaves’ lullabies.
The pillow, sheet no longer wells of heat.
I turn, it’s cool. I swim in a blue pool.
No devil dreams. The succubus seems tame
As she snuggles and nestles into me.

Feel free to share your opinion of "60° F."
