Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

The Perfect Compromise

I’m sitting’ in a patch of sun
Or else I’d likely freeze
Because, although it’s June,
There is a really chilly breeze.

I’m not complaining - heat and I
Are different as can be.
I’d rather suffer winter’s bite 
Than wipe the sweat off me.

Today’s the perfect compromise,
Combining warmth of sun
With fall-like winds, such weather
Bringing smiles to everyone.

L Milton Hankins June 19, 2022 at 2:42 PM Give me warm over cool always! I can always take off clothes, but when it's very cold, I can't seem to find enough to put on to keep me warm.

Edward Ibeh June 19, 2022 at 2:21 PM I just can't wait for Autumn. I'm sick of the heat already, teeheehee. Lovely poem, Ilene:-)

Jim Slaughter June 19, 2022 at 10:12 AM If you can't stand the heat...get out of the solarium! Wish it were like that here, Ilene. Been in the mid 90's, with no "chilly breeze" or end in sight. And I fully agree with Rico re your word-mind-wrapping abilities.
