glass
shatters
intense heat
causes breakage
thousand slivers shine
small shards found all over
covers large floor deck in back
complete cleanup takes a long time
dustpan filled many times by sweeping
broom brings pieces together in one place
some manage to fall down between cracks
others cause cuts on my fingers, hands
pin prick pain itchy, starts bleeding
sparkling spots shine in sunlight
big box filled with remnants
some soft chairs covered
need new set soon
summer's here
hot days
stay

I love the structure you've written this in. And the piece itself was terrific.

Wow! I love this. The visual pattern is stunning as you weave your words all throughout telling a story. You pulled this off very well, methinks!
(Sorry you lost your patio table. Gosh, sure hope no one was sitting there when it happened!)

Beautifully done double etheree.
I love the summer heat despite its dangers!
Stay cool.

wow. Nice etheree and a story well told. I knew heat could cause damage but didn't know the extent. Etherees are fun ... nice job with this double one.
