the trees are growing
although I cannot see them
the air does not move
the sun's shadows paint long
then short, then long again
the air does not move
the houses sleep
with their inhabitants away
the air does not move
I paint the scene with my mind
I choose the colors by touch
the air does not move
nice pic and superb imagery in there...:)
ReplyDeleteA bud fluttered open
Blushed against the warmth
the air does not move
and even the road seems halted :) a good choice of picture to this heavy-air poem.
ReplyDelete"the air does not move" - helps me picture the setting beautifully.
ReplyDeleteNice piece and I loved Erratic Thoughts add on...
ReplyDeleteI can feel the heat in that air that doesn't move and that it's only midsummer it's a very nice thought...
ReplyDeleteErratic Thoughts, that's a wonderful addition! I love when people pick up a theme and add their own creativity.
ReplyDeleteSzelsofa, I wanted one with a different setting, but yes, I thought this one had that stillness to it also.
Phatichar, thanks for saying so!
Lee, much appreciated.
Vesper, I would think that you can see days and moments like this too.
Ouch, now the whole long day, the refrain in my head would be "the air does not move". Beautiful work.
