Evelyn Judy Buehler Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Swelter

Moving through the day
In a blister of heat,
Sparks seem to spray
And bounce off the street.

Shadows are twice as black!
The windows sparkle gold.
The earth seems about to crack--
Frightening to behold!

Backed against a wall,
Moving along its side,
I give a desperate call;
There's nowhere to hide,

"Help!"  I cry.
"Who stole the night?
I don't wanna die!
Someone turn out the light!"

Gershon Wolf February 13, 2020 at 2:38 PM Sure liked the humor in that last stanza... Not a fan of sweltering anymore. Used to be--- too many years ago. Went from red-hot to ice-cold over time! :) Gershon Evelyn Judy Buehler February 13, 2020 at 5:24 PM Variety is the spice of life! Glad you enjoyed this one. Thanks for the nice comment. Evelyn :)
