This current heat wave is most uncomfortable! We're used to cooler weather here in the Northeast. It's grip is annoying and I'd like a break soon. You've captured its stubbornness perfectly.

Are you, perchance, in Toronto? (Hahahaha!) This lovely poem describes perfectly what is going on in my neck of the woods, and has been for more than two weeks. GAH!
Good luck in the contest!

I love the artwork is I can in vision the heat! The author's words are clear,
descriptive and creative. I thought about the heat in Florida and how
it doesn't compare to other parts of the USA. The poem flows and
connects well. Hi Yvette, hope you are having a great day!

This work has reached the exceptional level

Once again my friend, I am positive that this brilliant poem should have topped the list; wonder how they decide in these contests? Thank you for another picture perfect, alliteration loaded, creative verse with vivid imagery.

    Wow - Kamran!! This is such a wonderful surprise this morning!! Thank you so very much for both the stars and your awesome review, sir -- you've started my day and the rest of the week off on a great note!! :) ;) These contests are voted on by the members [you can vote at any time on any of them... even set it up so that you get a message when a new contest field is posted. ;)] so many times it seems to come down to the topic addressed rather than the writing... but the mechanics are definitely the same for all of them since 'a committee' does decide if the contest requirements are met. :) ;) But you are SO AWESOME for your compliment here... I am humbled with your words and sentiments... :)
    Been kinda 'out more than in' with getting the house ready for market, but it looks like I'm down to just tiny details and waiting on the husband to finish the garage, so I should be able to find a little time now even with 'school' starting back soon. [whole 'nother ball of wax there - weirdness and changes all 'round!]
    Take care of you out there and have a great remainder of the week! ;) Yvette

This is an excellent 5 - 7 -9 poem. I love the images your poem gives me.
The silhouettes shimmering, and a forecast of a hot, sometimes unbearable summer's day. Very good work. Good luck in all your writing endeavors.
Blessings,

Such beauty at dawn bringing us news of another summer's day of heat and presenting a feast of light and glory to give us for another day and night. A beautiful photo with words to match.

This is a short, easy to read and understand poem. It should do well in the 5-7-9 writing prompt. I enjoyed it, and I hope you do well in the contest. Good luck!

Love the poetry of this short poem! Great use of alliteration of 's' words and 'h' words. Perfect picture to illustrate the "silhouettes of dawn." Hope you do well in the contest!
