Asleep
as nature blinks
and shrinks the yellowed grass-
the seeds patiently await a
downpour....

now standing at the

August brings us the "Dog Days of Summer"
The spring breezes are gone now
But I shall not complain...

Daylight saving more time
Sun's rays poaching the earth's dry crust

Dog days pass slowly
air is thick but there ain't no
miracle waitin
funnel cloud on horizon
and we’re still in Kansas, friend....

a long tongued moth in my view
suckles its nectar brew-

Flora and fauna are in hiding.
No life stirs to do the day's biding.
	Feisty dog days are back
	in violent attack!
No sign of humid heat subsiding!...

the dog days of summer turn up the heat

         and when sweat drips from every pore...

autumn's a chilling thought

Sirius is approaching the gate
dragging the hot and humid like bait.
	Scorching dog days are back.
	A violent attack!
I fear I will burn my shaven pate!

Don't let what I say go to your head

But you're quite an animal in bed

He knew his wife had lied

It's what wounded his pride

So he slept in the doghouse instead...

Smelling of sweet nostalgia
and sunscreen,
the ghost of summers past
comes to my side;
her hot breath on my ear,
she whispers "I miss you".

"I wish you'd stayed longer,"
I sigh....

    The dog days of summer, certainly here
    Every half-hour, another shot of beer
        Too lazy to move
        I’m stuck in a groove
    Glad my new car doesn’t need me to steer

   Fast as you can say ‘Jack Robinson’
      Up pops another rookie phenom

   But as April heroics fade
      to June swoons

   Came the dog days of August
      extinguished ~ the honeymoon

Summer in its peak
Humid and torrid heat waves
Rush to get cooled off
Beaches with joyful clamor
An antidote for dog days!
