3WW given words:
brutal dense
clammy (unpleasantly damp and sticky of air or atmosphere)
Parched, dry, oddly brutal to the senses
Weather change was quick and abrupt
The Equinox phenomena just gone hence
But the aftermath was a cause to disrupt
Cutting a vicious path the el Nino heat-wave
Of hot days and dry warm nights as a fare
A double whammy of torment likely to face
No more clammy but just as odious to bear
Shackled indoors dense wet days a yearning
One month to endure of water conservation
A stunted fruiting process paltry in maturing
Wrath of climate change a telling trepidation
For Thomg's 3WW week # 472 and
Susan's at PU's Midweek Motif - climate

It does seem swift with no time to prepare--or at least I am never prepared. You capture the sense of entrapment both the very dry and the very wet can bring.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely captured that parched, dry feeling.
ReplyDeleteBrutal indeed!
ReplyDeleteI love "wrath of climate change a telling trepidation." Well said, Hank.
ReplyDeleteA fantastic title yet again Hank - we could offer rain - we have lots of it..the world truly is out of sorts
ReplyDeleteThere is a dragging feeling in the world where many feel they aren't heard about the issues that plague us. You somehow communicated that so beautifully!
ReplyDeleteSuch an intense & emotive feel to the poem..!
ReplyDeleteNot having enough water is sure one thing that is going to grow everywhere.
ReplyDeletewrath - I watched a tsunami documentary - and that surely is an apt word.
ReplyDeleteYour words paint the picture of parched perfectly Hank!
ReplyDeleteThis brings to the forefront how much our state of being depends upon what is happening out of doors.
