Summer Snowstorm

Summer Snowstorm Recalling winters chill and icy glow That lay upon the whitened banks of snow Your cheeks are bitten to a cherry red The polar bears and penguins daily stead The Spring and Fall have mimicked weather’s norm With Pea and Duffel coats to keep you warm Foretelling soon the season soon to come No more for rain to hear its steady thrum The God of Ra has brightened all our land The sun has kissed the beaches and the sand It’s Summer’s theme and bodies shall be tanned Just shorts and thongs and others will be banned Oceans await the surfboards when they soar To top waves and beat the sharks to the shore A season in heat as a snowstorms core The power of ice and the power on shore Seasonal or Unseasonal Poetry Contest Sponsored by Kim Rodriguez October 29, 2018
