She Swallows Sun

My Second Post for the
Prompt SUMMER .. at Haiku Heights
will also be shared with

Haiku My Heart..
on a more sombre note...


She Swallows Sun


It is summer;
on the burning city road
she walks bare feet

She walks bare feet
pursuing her day's bread;
air conditioned cars

Air conditioned cars
zoom past releasing more heat;
strength of spirit

Strength of spirit;
immune to all seasons
 poverty smiles

Poverty smiles;
sitting under a big tree,
she swallows Sun

She swallows sun
each day, every day;
it is summer..

RS:)

As an after thougth, I edited the line 'Child of Poverty' and
made it to 'Poverty Smiles'..after Jayanth perhaps Jayanth had commented....
