Heat Haze [91] cinquino
Heat Haze

Sweat bees,
and flies pouncing on our poulet,
gath'ring tantes et oncles,
a picnic curse
in French.

© Copyright 2021 Kåre Enga [178.91] (22.juni.2021)

poulet = chicken
tantes = aunts (ants?)
et = and
oncles = uncles
French = literal but also an allusion to "pardon my french"

A bit of a jest for those who know both languages or took it in grade school, comme moi.

Cinquino 2-8-6-4-2 PROMPT DESCRIPTION (You don't have to use all the words or include them in the poem): BEACH FUN, BUTTERFLIES, HEAT HAZE, SUNBATHE, BEES, PICNICS
