heatwave tableau

heatwave tableau 

midsummer rain, hot
air thick, sticky wet
warm scent of pollen 
rising from the loam
the faint breeze offers
no relief from the heat

The Tableau

The Tableau, a poetry form created by Emily Romano in October of 2008, consists of one or more verses, each having six lines. Each line should have five beats. There is no set rhyme scheme, although rhyme may be present. The title should contain the word tableau.

Since the dictionary states the word tableau means picture or representation, the poem should reflect this. A picture should come to mind as the poem is read.
