The example provided by Ronovan:

THE SEASONS CHANGE HERE,

FROM HOT TO COLD THE AIR CHILLS,

AND THE BIRDS START SOUTH.

I like this a lot, Mel. I like that even ‘blazing’ heat is welcomed. It keeps these hot parts of the world in perspective.

Love it Mel! Helios, the titan god of the sun is a permanent resident here in south Florida. 😉 Brilliant use of the prompt words. 😀

You’re quite good at haiku, Melissa. 🙂 Well done… even sneaking in some punctuation!

  Thanks, that’s a nice compliment 🙂 Poetry is not my strong suit, but I try and Ronovan’s prompts are great.

Yeah, a bit of homage to Greece with Helios. We hardly see him or Apollo in dreary old Scotland.

  Ah, but Scotland has so many other gifts to offer 😀
