Poetry challenge #45: Summer storm

We used the rondelet not too long ago, but long enough ago for me to have forgotten how it works. Suffice it to say, it isn’t complicated and will be a welcome relief from Ghazals.

The explanation is here, at Shadow Poetry. You’ll see that there are seven lines with a strict number of beats per line and a rhyming pattern. However, it isn’t difficult to follow.

As usual, please leave the link to your poem in the comments box before the round up next Tuesday.

The theme is

Summer storm

My poem:

 

Heat falls like lead,

The sky vibrates, too bright, too blue;

Heat falls like lead,

A vicious weight upon this head

That has so much to bear now you

Have gone—I thought that you’d be true.

Heat falls like lead.
