Summer Summer

SUMMER SUMMER ‘S earing is believing’, so to say U mbrella-shaded or not, all is hay. M uggy months with their max-it-out man hours, M ay being the maddest in gods' asylum. E ven the other three and those scrimpy R ains tend to simmer a la summer. S howering and changing and showering U nwinding at night under the awning. Mangoe-like season's fruits, local palm's gifts M ade-at-home drinks and coconut juice. E ndothermic, bodies turn, to sink extra heat R efreshed and trim, it is COOL summer times. Note:- Second stanza (acrostic) added subsequently . Form: Acrostic 2 Oct 14

Jag, I actually think it also works well standing alone that first stanza since it is all about the negatives of summer. but it looks well balanced with the second stanza. Very nicely done. I think summers are worse for you than for me. Utah has dry heat. It can make you feel like you are in an oven, but when you get used to it, it is better than humid areas!

Acrostically reflecting on your last summer. Sounds a bit uncomfortable to say the least! Nice to read your work as always! :)

so unique and original, this one just had to be yours, jaggy! this underwent many revisions, each time I read it it had changed slightly! I like "searing is believing", I like the alliteration and "scrimpy rains", and of course, the word play with simmer/summer - you chose my favourite season! congrats on your win in my contest, sweetie xoxo

clever acrostic - I especially love the line 'searing is believing' - I am pleased we don't have searing heat here in the UK. Good luck in the contest. Hugs jan xx
