August Sage Challenge

It’s TOO DARN HOT!!!

Have you noticed that although the world is experiencing extremities  – storms, tornadoes, earthquakes, forest fires, volcanoes and HEAT – the news media seems to be going out of its way NOT to mention “climate change”.    Yet, here we are  – not just in the U.S. but in places like western europe which is seeing 100+ degree days for the first time in….ever.

This month’s challenge is: Write a poem, story or memoir where the climate is a factor.     Can be serious, funny, or reflective.   Up to 800 words.   See other rules below.

Deadline is August  26, 2026. Send your story or article to: webmaster@swwriters.com.
