Fall Contest, placed 1st

Half Past Summer, Two Months Till Fall

King Sol is stealing all my energy.
There’s no relief in sight, forecasters say.
Come, clouds, with brief relief; this is my plea.
While summer lovers bask in heat each day,
I’ll dream of fall and trust in my AC.

Vanya Evangeline July 29, 2025 at 8:31 AM Haha, not a big fan of summers either - only the vacation in brings. Talking about fall and dreaming about AC is indeed what I'll do instead. Congrats on the win! Janice Canerdy July 29, 2025 at 11:31 AM Vanya, thanks a million. The heat index in parts of the Deep South is 115 degrees right now. I worry bout loved ones working out in this sweltering heat! Janice

I Am Anaya July 20, 2025 at 9:53 AM Hello Janice, I resonate with your pleas! Clouds and a breeze are much needed during our summers. It's sunworshiper vs ac for this hiker. Great entry and image posted! Janice Canerdy July 20, 2025 at 5:23 PM Thanks so much, Anaya! :-) Janice

Sara Kendrick July 20, 2025 at 6:54 AM I agree. Summer is just too far out there with heat for me. Sara K Janice Canerdy July 20, 2025 at 9:47 AM Yes! Thanks so much, Sara. Janice

Jan Allison July 20, 2025 at 6:20 AM A very timely poem with the heatwaves we are experiencing. I think its something we can all relate to at the moment but we don't have AC in the uk! hugs jan xx Jan Allison July 20, 2025 at 9:58 AM It reached about 78 f last weekend, today its about 66 f - we don't tend to get the extremes of temperatures on our Island, but the Uk has been very hot recently reaching about 91F - far too hot for me lol:-) hugs Jan xx Janice Canerdy July 20, 2025 at 9:46 AM Thanks so much, Jan. YOU'RE KIDDING! What's the temp there today--in Fahrenheit :-) --? Janice
