Summer Heat

In
August
sweltering 
heat prevails as
summer stubbornly
digs in her heels,
refusing
to cool
down.

I like that part about summer 'stubbornly digging in her heels.' That about sums up good old dogged August, at least here in the Midwest. (I'm in Chicago, in the city). Best wishes, Gershon

Thank you, Gershon! I'm in the Panhandle of Florida and the heat and humidity seem to last forever!
