And yes, the rhyme scheme should be CDCCDC. Typo.

The humidity must be terrible. I imagine it is difficult to think of anything else, what with your clothes sticking to you and the fatigue setting in. It must also affect the woodwork. We have had high humidity here but nothing compared to NJ. It's been raining a lot.

The weather turned out better than expected today. I have the added difficulty of having quite a bit of skin grafts. They negatively affect my ability to deal with the heat and humidity. That enables me to feel the suffering in a deeper way though. Much better for a poet. Where in the UK are you located?

East Yorkshire. Yorkshire is the largest county in England and the weather does differ from end to end.

Ocean County is the second largest county in NJ, by area. Much of the Pine Barrens covers my county, although not much at the northern edge where I reside. The sugar sand ends completely a bit further north in Monmouth County. I even ran for Sheriff here in 2013. I actually live right up the road from where the Hindenberg blew up.
