dusty, croaking throat. lazing in sweaty agony
air shimmering off of hot surfaces
diving into a deep pond or lake
jumping into the river frrom a kayak
ice cream, popsicles

I jump in like a heatwave
going in like boom, in a trance like im dance at a rave
no matter what, you can’t escape me, like youre my slave
i be standing over you like that old king Dave
I ride in on the heat
i be spitting on the beat
stretching out the concrete
anyone in the way will be beat
anyone standing shelterless on the street
i cook up all your meat
i fall down on you harder than the sleet
warming up your seat
to the point of defeat
bring me out my sheets
i’ll put it down so neat
energy and life growing like the wheat
Sitting on the couch, the heavy air and the soft cushions pushed in all around on my weak limbs. Silver sweat was on his brow as well, but his crossed arms sneered against the will of the humidity and against my sluggishness.
The humidity rolls over the city like a cloud that weighs us all down in thick, sticky air. That’s what it feels like to be politically enraged – an inescapable heatwave.

The heatwave outside meant that when Zoe finally entered the sheriff’s station, she shivered at the blast of cool air that enveloped her. The soothing coolness didn’t last long though. Inside the station, doing pull-ups and sweating up a storm, was Jo, the unreasonably good-looking deputy sheriff.
the cherry popsicle dripped under the hot sun–fat, pink droplets racing down the sugary ice stick, pooling around the sweaty fingers that gripped the wooden popsicle stick. L slurped at the popsicle lustily.

I decided to stay at home for the weekend. No one in their right mind would venture out when there is a heatwave pushing temps to above 110!! It was 115 in disneyland or hell!
In a world where you can walk a short distance from one air conditioned space to the next, heatwaves are not as much of an issue. Before you even start to sweat, you start cooling off in the next air conditioned space.

I am not sure if heatwaves technically exist in Georgia anymore. The concept of “heatwaves” implies that at some point it was not already disastrously hot outside. We have “cold fronts”, but nobody ever really mentions heatwaves. Complaining about heat in the south is like complaining about salt in the ocean.

‘If I wanted to know what I think, I wouldn’t ask you,’ she said.
It was a heatwave, she was dressed like a polar bear, but there was nothing I could do or say: she was right, I was wrong, as always.
‘You do not need to let me know what is appropriate to wear here; I know better than you.’ As she spoke spittle flew out of her mouth, her face turned a deeper shade of red.
All I could think of was getting into the shade, standing as far away from her as possible, and then I could feel better. The heat was getting to me too and I needed to settle down and relax. If she kept this up, I would have to deck her, to stop her having a heart attack right here. It would be for her own best interests, I could argue, as well as my own mental health.
Sweltering, simmering, nay not a pot of
Gold fever, the swell of life’s mid-
Uncertainties. Ingots naught,
an autumn and winter’s everlasting.
Issie Kay
Woosh. A gigantic gust of hot wind ran through the town.
“Run!” somebody yelled. “The heatwave is back!”
The townspeople rushed to close up all gaps and shut themselves indoors.

The radiation from the sun felt like a cartoon where the evaporation of water bent the light. Stagnant air seemed to cry out for release.
The last time I saw you was in a heatwave. You found me sitting at the red metal table, which felt like a plugged-in iron. We spent all these hours together in the middle of a weekday. Sometimes I worry it will never happen again.

Today the heat wave hit, making the smallest and driest of branches ignite into flame. As the sun set and the moon shown, a red cast filled the sky with small dancing embers that shown brighter than the stars.
The roaring from the crowd had subsided for now, all were saving their breath and waited under the scorching sun for the penalties to come. The players emptied several water bottles over themselves and even drank a little. The teams were hectically analyzing the opponents.
Fran Hunne
Outside was oppressive. It wasn’t going to get better for sure. She tried to loosen her clothing surreptitiously, but it was no use.
the wind offers little respite
in this still air.
we wandered long,
wavering hopes still alight.
until nightfall,
offers us solace.

When I think about heatwave I imagine how the sun burns so bad that I am melting. Is the best thing that could happen on the beach but if it catch you at work, you re dead.
Alexandra
Heatwaves cause alot of stress. They make people very uncomfortable and unable to do what they should be doing. Some countries never experience heatwaves and are spared from its disadvantages. Today heatwaves can be predicted in advance and people can be better prepared to face the difficulties it may cause.
estie glazer
On the heatwave the sun shine so bad that it torture you. You actually get out on your feet. For me is perfect, when I am at the beach or pool, but when i am working is awful

I was just thinking about the heatwave and I had just turned on my little fan before I clicked this thing. Very aptly chosen prompt for the day, owners of oneword.com. The world is a strange, often wonderful and often heartbreaking place. It may be the lone bastion for life and we, humanity, seek to drain and destroy it.
Lee Anderson
We were barely hanging on to life when the heatwave took over the battlefield. By then, water supplies had dwindled to almost nothing, and those who weren’t dehydrated quickly succumbed to heat stroke. It was, allegedly, record-breaking, the earth scorched and the grass turned brown by the time the pressure eased off and winds began to blow again.
I cradled my sergeant in my arms on the last day and tried to give her my canteen of water. But she refused to take a single sip.

Oh, it’s like a heatwave;
when the liquid ruptures beneath the spleen
and what’s left is acid-washed hands.
