Carpe Diem #1314 The Nightingale

the quatrain prompt from Kristjaan is:

Alas, that Spring should vanish with the Rose!
That Youth's sweet-scented Manuscript should close!
The Nightingale that in the Branches sang,
Ah, whence, and whither flown again, who knows?

hot day -
sound of a pigeon

the sound of raindrops -
blistering hot day

a glass of straws
iced tea
to cool a scorching day

Dry season, the sun glints a brilliant hue, just what the carnival revellers would need, to sparkle their beads and sequins and add enough fantasy to their plumes. On the flip side of these sunlight hours, its about quiet time sitting in the shade, hearing the banana fronds ripples in the passing gusts, Its about tea, whether hot or iced and a good book.

Furthermore, Susan informs us: "Technically, climate is a set of weather statistics gathered over many years, a summary of tendencies in a region condensed from many spheres: atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere."
