Haiku: Heat Wave in South Africa

in #poetry • 8 years ago (edited)

Three fans tick tick hum

Unsettled restless prickly

Woollen cloying haze


In South Africa we only have two seasons, summer and winter. Very often both in the same day. It  officially Spring. It was 35C today, and for the forseeable future.

    And, for fun, to make it a haiku chase...

    Woollen cloying haze
    how can anybody work
    sweating hands tools slip

    (I explain a haiku chase in the top of this post: https://steemit.com/haiku/@jenskohler/haiku-chase-based-on-generals-of-napoleon-1-duroc-the-shadow-of-the-emperor-by-herverisson)

    Sweating hands tools slip
    anxiety consuming
    paralysing fear

    paralysing fear
    is an impossible task
    rather dance with fear

      rather dance with fear
      a precipitous knife edge
      amid the thunder

      amid the thunder
      between lightning's edges keen
      may we step lightly

        may we step lightly
        into the dawn of the day
        demons undisturbed
