A Puddle of Me

[Muttado1sb]

It is hot.
Very hot.
And humid.
Very humid.
The type of hot,
the type of humid
where any action
causes an uncomfortable
reaction.
Where movement
uses energy,
energy that in turn
creates heat,
heat that in turn
requires cooling
by creating more humidity.
Humidity that
starts as sticky,
sticky turns to damp,
and damp to wet.
Strength is sapped
as energy is used
and heat created.
Wetness expands
as cooling continues.
Expended,
I melt
into
a puddle of me.

FANTASTIC! Perfectly described. You must surely know this heat

Thank you, rhymetime! It was written for my daughter last summer when she was house sitting for a relative with no a/c.

I hope she got extra money, hazardous pay

Thanks, lunar glide!

Wow, Muttado1sb, you have convincingly described the effects of 'way too hot.' Those lazy summer days! Love the puddle of me!

[Muttado1sb]

Thank you, MH! It can feel that way after being in it for a while.

[DWAYNE]

It is hot, but not nearly as got as this write!

Well done poet.

[Muttado1sb]

Thank you very much, DWAYNE!

Most excellent Muttado1sb! I'm sure all who are presently sweltering would salute you - once they are reconstituted from the puddles they've become.

[Muttado1sb]

Thanks, RLW! Stay hydrated and try to stay cool. We don't need to clean up more puddles!

[Muttado1sb]

Ding dong! I didn't even think of that. Ha! Thanks, grant!
