Such beauty in your pristine edge
Precision killer of my stroll
When summer’s heat extends
—
And pant to unclad leg migrates
In summer breeze that soothes the soul
Exposing flesh to that which rends
—
No wrath to insects, bees or sheep
Just to my naive naked limb
From what beneath the ivy bends

My own ‘naive, naked limbs’ are suffering from a close encounter with a load of undergrowth, so I can fully appreciate your words, Steve. The image is stunning too!

I really like this. We have ticks here in South Africa so despite the terrific heat, walking in shorts is not advisable.

Thank you, Robbie. I’m not sure it’s worth it here, either!
