Janice Canerdy Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

July 6, 2024, placed 2nd in Joseph May's Double Double Words to Bubble 2 Contest

 

     **************************************************************************

STEAMY SUMMER

Sweat-drenched heat victims crank up the AC’s.
Temperate weather has bid us adieu.
Energy is sapped; for some, optimism grows dim.
Alleviation follows the occasional rainstorm.
Many rely on swimming pools for brief respite.
Yesterday was hot; today will be a record-breaker.
