The acute summer this year is agonising. Imagine two days ago the temperature rose to 48 0 C . Here is a nonet depicting the feelings of an ordinary person.
Summer
summer sun
blazing,fiery,burning.
Men, animals, birds plants
craving, yearning longing for water
.Depleted are streams canals and rivers
no trace of thundering outburst dark clouds
Craze for cold drinks, colas, juices and icecream
load shedding adds to agony,woe, pain and anguish
