Haiku Heights #288 ~ September Heights Day 15 ~ Wilted


                                                   





                                                                 
                                                              Languished and dwindled
                                                           
                                                             in the scorching sunny afternoon

                                                                 child  comes home.




Hwange National Park, dead elephant


Thirsty baby elephant

wilting  thirsty in summer heat

life is lost.

    My son too comes home tired from school. A quick bath once again and hot lunch refreshes him. Our climate is the culprit. Lovely Haiku Ushaji.
