Coronado Scribes Poetry and Prose Weekly Feature: “Heat” by Val Crisson

We, the Coronado Scribes, consist of both professional and amateur writers. We have in common a desire to learn, by sharing our efforts and listening to other writers. We hold pressure-less sessions every Wednesday, at the Coronado Library conference room, starting at 1:30. Often we have guests who wish to just listen. They are welcome, and so are you.

Each week on eCoronado, we feature a different piece of prose or poetry produced by one of our writers. Please feel free to comment or ask questions in the comment section below.

HEAT

Wicked hot sun

hovers

over the horizon

dripping

scarlet and gold

into the sea

Abandoned

sand castles melt into waves

We linger

waiting for night’s cool

scents of coco butter and rum

float on a tropical breeze

Touching

emotions rise

desire

as hot as the moment

slips into our veins

Somewhere

Coconuts fall and a sailboat creaks

as purple dusk drapes

our lovers’ quest
