In the Heat
Your energy saps;
Your body wants naps.
You might just collapse
In the heat.
Your spirits are low;
Your movements are slow.
Impatience does grow
In the heat.
Your thinking’s not clear;
You’ve lost all good cheer.
You might disappear
In the heat.
You can’t stay outside;
Even shade won’t abide
As your smile starts to slide
In the heat.
In due time you head home
Where you finish your poem
Under a/c’s sweet dome –
What a treat!
