Summer

Summer wind is blowing through me
telling of the season’s coming,
whirlwinds of heat and fire will be
spreading through the forests slumming. 

Like the rodents running mazes
summer wind is blowing through me,
suddenly its heat amazes,
wails destruction like a banshee. 

Away with torment this I plea,
wither it with gentle breezes~
summer wind is blowing through me 
nothing in its presence pleases.

Hurry now the autumn’s cooling
or bathe me in the deep blue sea,
I am weary of this grueling,
summer wind is blowing through me

you definitely captured the intensity that is summer. I agree 'nothing in it pleases me,' well except the sunshine...the heat and humidity not so much.
