We can wear our shorts at last
With sleeveless T-shirts, they’re a blast!
Bare feet in sandals wriggle free
Bright painted toenails flirt with me!
We loll about, kick off our shoes,
Grab a deck
chair, maybe snooze
As the heat
saps all our strength
We like to
meditate, full length!
Not everyone has fled abroad
Trains
to the North Sea coast have soared!
Blue skies
with not a trace of rain:
Awesome Dog
Days back again!
Wise Ancients
knew it would be dry
With Dog Star
Sirius in the sky
This
welcome heat meant harvests ripe
And marvels
to be seen at night.
The
immensity of deepest space
Put us humans
in our place;
Electric
light, though quite amazing,
Lacks the
magic of star gazing…
(c) Poet in the woods 2024
Sirius the dog star heralded the hottest days of the year
