Eight-line Poems

Air

Air

All I need is the air that I breath - The Hollies

TeeVee weather girl bringing the news
high pressure moving in from the south
pushing the winds that dispel the blues
sprinkling the rain in the earth’s parchèd mouth
breaking this heat wave that made us all sweat
freshens the air to a cool summer breeze
remember umbrella and you won’t get wet
let’s hope that she’s right and it’s not just a tease.
