EXTREME HEAT
Extreme heat signifies an era For the people who live in denial That it is global warming While the heat from hell solidifies Itself throughout a variety of States and countries The heat creeps into our bodies And brains creating a fog that Keeps us in a neutral zone, Wear our thoughts are unclear making us Quick to anger and our patience short ...

Incandescent
noon’s furnace: asphalt shimmers; air—thick, slow— cracks open. cicadas drill through stagnant gold. a sprinkler’s hiccup-hiss: the pavement’s glow un/curls in steam. the hydrant’s shout: uncontrolled. children shriek!—a liquid burst of now, popsicle rivers bleed; knuckles—sticky, green— cling to handlebars. shadows stretch: thin, lean across chain-link. each blade of grass—laid down— bakes. but dusk? a match-strike: fireflies!— the yard exhales jasmine; stars prick the...

Premium Member Summer Heat
Sun is seen a flaming ball in the sky, Darting down pointed spears of smarting beams. Horrid heat waves, from the smoked earth, rise high. For drops of water, the thirsty earth screams. The waterlogged piece of land has gone dry. The soil is arid and left cracked and parched. Drying crops have made farmers sadly sigh. The once lush green...

Premium Member City Heat
The neighborhood has gone to bed A lonely yellow light peeks out a window A wary city coyote gives a curious glance Racoons pick the combination lock on the trash can lid A feral Tom serenades its purring lover Street lights offer a dubious trust As a cradle moon rocks the stars to sleep A wind chime succumbs to the humidity ...

Charles and my predawn jog was a sweat-athon and as the sun rose, a heat-dome brightness tattooed crisp shadows in every corner. Any lingering coolness was burned off - evaporated. It was 94°f, 3 hours later, when I walked to campus - why don’t we use parasols anymore? Drag on, radiant afternoon heat, please. That was...

Premium Member Where the heat meets the flame
Where the heat meets the flame I don't care for love... don't care for much, You've taken away everything... with your filthy touch I don't feel your pain... though blood pours like rain I'll meet you there... where the heat meets the flame These chains hold me down... Bind me in place This evil haunts me in my dreams, with his stone cold face Don't ever let...

Milwaukee in the Heat
Visiting Milwaukee And the sun is blazing hot. Our tolerance, as we get old, Is something we ain’t got. So yesterday, the river walk Enticed us and we went, The temperature’s effects not really All that evident… Until, with nighttime tickets To a huge James Taylor show, The heat affected us so much, We almost didn’t go. We made it, though we didn’t stay Until...

Southern heat wave blues
It’s ninety one but feels like more, Like I opened up the Devil’s front door. He said “Come on in!” with a fire breath grin Now I’m sweatin' places I ain’t ever been. The sidewalk’s cookin’ eggs on the sly, Birds stopped chirpin', too hot to fly. Even my dog gave me that judgmental look, Like, “Take me out again and you’re...
