RE: Haiku: Heat Wave in South Africa

in #poetry8 years ago

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)

Sort:  

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
