[hometext] => The 4th in my quartet of Sydney seasons. I'd love to read your local homages as well, so tell me if you've posted.
[bodytext] =>  SYDNEY SIZZLES IN SUMMER'S HEAT! The tabloid headlines oft repeat Alliteration aside, there are aspects of Summer I can’t abide The smoke of bushfires on the air, The stink of it like burning hair The heat bleaching the suburbs white, Dry Westerlies with no respite The road rage baked in steel ovens, The brown lawns and withered gardens Always sticky, tired and dehydrated, Sunburn and flies and feeling bloated Desperately trying to stay cool Among screaming kids at the local pool But there are those other Summer faces, that have us blessing our good graces The sidewalks releasing clouds of steam After sudden bursts of tepid rain The beaches at any time of the day, Boats in sail across the bay The cool film of sweat worn at night, That extra hour, with its gift of light The welcome arrival of a Southerly Buster, Balmy nights overlooking the harbour Summer love, hot and languid And ice cold beers, amber fluid So in Sydney this Summer, we’ll sizzle, and sightsee and snuggle and savour the supreme season.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
