Personal Heat

It is 94 degrees and mostly sunny
Though my skin is like smouldering burned cookies
After the fire department sprayed water on top

Time is now for my personal heat
Others are cool and calm while I melt into my seat
Hide the scissors cause I feel like cutting off my hair
Winter is for me this season
Maybe I'll move to Greenland.

Haven't read you in awhile, I was on a bit of a personal AWOL from here for a bit. Enjoyable read as always :) take care and God bless you, my hair is almost to my bottom, and all I can do with it is braid it on the side. Never ever ride in a convertable. BF laughs cause I say I think I need a pony tail.. men think it's funny when women have so many hair problems I believe. Take good care, and God bless, Cindy

You could go to England, they have pretty cool climates there...and rough winters too! Great write here, I like the Fall myself...the cooling down of the air, it just feels crisp, I love it! Great Work!!
