The Vanishing of Summer

Summer came in with sizzling temperatures
and stifling humidity,

A long awaited respite from the frost settling
on the trees,

The extreme fluctuation in degrees made the
population uneasy,
queasy.........
not knowing what to wish for,
warmth or cold,
perhaps anything in between,

The heat had everyone up in arms,
trying their hardest to fight off the over
exaggerated warmth,

Then the rain came and cooled
the land,
an unexpected hand.....
slowly, but surely Summer vanished
leaving everyone ambivalent
still not knowing which climate is best,
very hot,
very cold,
eventhough Summer had its moments of rejuvenation 
and good times,
This year it was not missed,
because of the scorching climes.
