Sum-time

The relentless sun
Burning and scathing;
A drop of
Chilled lemonade,
For parched throat;
Or may be
Cumin, mint and yogurt smoothie,
The elixir
Downed in a gulp;
The relief
Overwhelming
But

Shortlived;

    Oh, I feel this! My current summers are not anywhere this warm - or as warm as the ones of my youth . . . but I do remember. :)

    Chilled lemonade sounds great! We used to eat watermelon on and off all day in the summer when I was a kid.

      I am not very fond of watermelons but they are the best to beat the heat so yes, that figures in too :) Thank you so much

    oh how lovely and wonderful that first sip of something cold feels on a parched throat in summer.
    This brought that feeling right to my own tongue.

    I like how you used the coolness of the drinks to underscore how hot it really is. Great job.
