L Milton Hankins Poet Ottava rima

Sunburn Is No Fun

Slipping slowly across the sky,
Summer sun in hot sizzling bliss
Permits no hasty alibi,
Neither offers a gentle kiss,
While ample creams will justify
Protective lotions we dismiss,
So, lest we blister, we must care,
Protective shirts and sunscreen wear.

Michelle Faulkner May 28, 2021 at 11:51 AM So clever, really like 'sizzline bliss' and 'neither offers a gentle kiss' - while I don't sunburn that easily, I should remember to wear sunblock - especially on my nose! L Milton Hankins May 28, 2021 at 12:15 PM Yes, indeed, Michelle. Thanks so much for your read and your insightful comments.
