My contribution to 3WW CLIII
A sunny bright afternoon
the scorching rays no respite
humid breeze, howling murmurs
wiggling shadows of trees
whirling storm of dust
the empty highways, a threat
distant mirage, a glare
hope in any shape or form
luster of a tiny raindrop
gently fell on my dry palm

Nice read! Great use of the promt!

I'm with Thom, although I must confess that "howling murmurs" trips me up with a bit of cognitive dissonance.
I have to think about that pairing; I must be missing something.
I am hating the summer!
it was not a dream, certainly not a memory
i could see the luster on my palm :O
The Glare of Threat
very vivid!
luster of a tiny raindrop
so sweetly done.
Lead me to the oasis.
Oh wow, such wonderful visual imagery! This was lovely.
I do like this, there's a lovely build up here.
I just wonder if the change of tense on 'fell' was intentional, I would have used 'falls', anyhow, great use of the prompt.
And I am enjoying it even more coz ryt now m feeling the luster of tiny raindrops from my window.
I am sorry my baby

Indian summer?
ghostly and hellish... that raindrop feels more like a drop of sweat to me.
Nicely visual and strongly worded...
