A rising sun cast pastel shades
Icy lavender fools
In the throes of summertime's heat 
It is hard to keep cool

All seems quiet, just a Mockingbird's
Varied soft melodies 
As the orange ball of a sun
Rest with ease 'pon pine trees

A lovely day to enjoy the peace
A restful quiet morn
Even the roosters are silent
Time for good thoughts to be born

Soon the sun's changing position
Will transfer radiant heat
The day will become hotter
Which even  icy drinks can't beat

Is hell getting__hot_ hotter still
Heated with fervent heat
So hot for those who don't repent
Punishment to meet their feats

Enjoyable sun, till it becomes too much to bear! Our summer is hot and I feel drained of energy and am thirsty most of the time. I'm not planning on paying hell a visit:) // paul

Oh, I liked how you changed this to be about hell at the end! Kind of having a dual purpose. Great picture to go with it too, Sara!! Love your description of the day so restful even the rooster is silent.

sara, I am orange according to that personality test at FB. So I decided to choose orange for that waltz poem. But I wanted you to know, I much more prefer blues and lavender hues!! Let me read this one now.
