Dry Season

Two seasons: both hot — One dry, one rain-soaked. Stock up! Hurricanes coming.

Eyeball-munching, glass- Pooping beetles! Dry eye and Imagination. :(

Acned teens daydream Of a day old women dread — For skin, smooth and dry.

Parched and potted soil — Dried, shriveled roots — leaves yellowed. Pale. Lifeless. Compost.

Ashes to ashes, Dust to dust. Hopes all dry up… Till new life springs forth.

And now, it’s your turn — should you accept it — to write a Haiku or a 100-word story with the word “humid” as your prompt.

Obinna Uruakpa, Vinitha Dileep, Riku Arikiri, James G Brennan, Susan Baker TX, Susannah MacKinnie, Arjan Tupan (still working on inventing a new form for you, Arjan!), Bren Anne-Writer (who can probably relate to that second Haiku, up there!), Amy Marley, Ann K Frailey, Allison Gaines, Saurabh…and you — yes, you! I didn’t tag you, because I know you’re shy. But tag ME when you write yours, so that I can read it.
