The summer solstice brings the sizzling sun
to squeeze the sweat completely from all pores
and bake the back and arms of anyone
who seeks to spend a bit of time outdoors.
The summer solstice brings the crickets’ song
to fashion a warm night’s romantic tryst.
The heat of day comes with the rising dawn
as light rain drowns the hot in cooling mist.
The summer solstice varies in degree
from tepid, humid, hot or just plain stifling
but when it reaches one hundred and three
a body soon feels overwhelmed and trifling.
The summer's heat will reign until the Fall
with furnace fingers touching on us all.
