Approaching Midsummer

Belgian skies promise surprises!

Storms are threatened; the wind rises,

But for now, fierce rays burn leaves

While soil, quite powder-dry, still grieves.

 

In this midsummer heat, we glow

And in bright, sleeveless dresses flow;

See trendy footwear, digits painted

As sun and pale skin get acquainted!

 

All punters welcome summer haze;

Friends and workmates fill cafés

Forgetting briefly the world’s woes;

Such ‘Living in the Moment’ shows!

 

Tourists swarm round scenic sites

As culture with good food delights

 Sun-blessed Brussels claims its own

Lucky me – it is my home!
