Summer Heat

The sky wears the sun high Heat and light a constant flow The earth parched, the sun now feeds The air so still, playing hot and dead Like burning coal strewn everywhere The grass catching light, stems on fire Flickering flames under my feet The heat spreading, O so fast Sweat pouring my eyes downcast Brewing in this summer cask! White butterflies bleached by the sun Flittering around having fun The sun departing with a glare But I am too hot to even care! 4.6.2021 Sponsor: Brian Strand Contest: All Yours June’5 First Place.
