Summertime

Hot baked sun streaming down Intense bright light all around Penetrating everything Wilting flowers fighting to live Lazy cats and dogs seeking shelter and shade Streets and sidewalks hot to the touch Laundry put out dries in a minute It’s summertime once again Bright blue skies Sleeveless tops and dresses Nothing feels comfortable Beds too hot No where to sit in comfort Cold drinks tempting the mouth Thoughts go to sandy beaches And soft cool ocean breezes It’s summertime once again
