Chris Hagy Poet Free verse

July 28

It's very hot
And my thoughts melt into the air
like HeAtWaVeS

I feel the Fire of my Foolishness
And the Pain of my Passions

I feel the very Sweat
as it Drips from my Soul

The Flame of all Desire is Raging
Consuming my time

As my heart Searches
for a Long Cool Drink

It is Suffocated in it's Endeavor

- originally penned July 28 1990 something
by a younger me

Andrea Dietrich July 28, 2016 at 9:10 PM I really like seeing your oldie poem here Chris. Gosh 1990 I was not even writing then, and I was so young and fresh like a daisy still!!! Chris Hagy July 30, 2016 at 2:44 PM I don't think I was ever "daisy fresh", but I was young and a little wild...uh...and foolish!

Cheryl Hoffman July 28, 2016 at 7:18 PM Very nice poem that I can so relate to Chris! (perspire, perspire, lol!) Chris Hagy July 30, 2016 at 2:42 PM Thanks Cheryl:)...thought this was another good, HOT summer to post this!

Paul Callus July 28, 2016 at 3:35 PM What a coincidence, Chris!! Today I wrote a light poem based on summer heat and the inability to quench thirst (for idiom contest); still to be posted. I find your poem delightful, and I wonder whether after 26 years you still "feel the fire of my Foolishness and the Pain of my Passions"!! Regards // paul Chris Hagy July 30, 2016 at 2:38 PM I think we all have pain and regret, but at least 26 years later I am old enough to accept the past, live in the present, and look forward to the future:)...just thought this was the perfect summer to post!!

Ronald Kent July 28, 2016 at 3:16 PM Very nice read. Thank you for reposting. I have one from high school as soon as I find it, it's up. Thank you for that little bit of inspiration.
