Haiku 89

the temperature rose the skin cooking from heat slow roasted lobster prairie fields bone dry the crops refusing to grow from seeds to dust

I guess that was really unusual for Canada to have the heat that it had this summer. I am glad that the rains finally came and things cooled down. Good work. Sara
