Summer Afternoons Poem by Valsa George

Harshness of a drought is felt to any one upon mere mentioning. Yet, only a poet has the ability to bring it closer to hearts. That's the message this poem carries. Sweat trickles down the grimy faces. Delighted to read. Enjoyed..

Your poems are always filled with vivid imagery that open true shades of nature infront of the eyes of readers. Amazing as always. Thank you.

With an arresting image of the afternoon sun in a hot summer, the poem begins to describe the feel of of a journey where the road is available, the destination hazily inferred and the dust becomes metaphoric. Thank you, Poet. A.Madhavan

You have brought home to the reader the not so pleasant side of summer season. A beautiful descriptive poem eloquently expressed. Thanks for sharing Valsa.

You have described the harshness of nature on a hot summer afternoon so well here in this poem! Liked it very much. Liked some of the readers' comments too. The last two lines are superb!

The 'Green' is fading away slowly and the heat is becoming unbearable. The earth is heating and wonder which parasol that God made will not be destroyed, to shelter us. Sunbeams pelt down like rain! Under which parasol can we seek shade, i like these lines. In this sweltering desert of heat?

Sweltering desert of heat is hard thing to face.Thought of a warm day feels good in winter.

Great imagery of summer with vivid picture, you always write with heart when it comes to nature.
