Curtis Johnson Poet Rhyme

Hot August Nights

I remember when the sun would set,
And before long, workers took their rest.
I recall when the heat would decline
And hush, but not by much.

I recollect those southern summer nights,
Especially in the rural where there was so
Little light and where kids thrilled themselves
With the sight of lightning bugs.

There are things I wish that I could forget.
We never forgot to stay close to home to
Avoid the southern summer fright, because
Some sad souls were not very bright.
