Steam heat hits you like a wall
when you walk out the door
Radiant green grass generates
thick unbreatheable air
under the Bunsen burner sun
Brilliant blue skies vacuum
up heaping cotton ball clouds
Dead calm runs in riverlets
of wasted stinging sweat
Shade of trees offers mirage
of coolness for temptation
Continuous thirst for relief
presses cold glass to forehead

Oh boy! Did you ever call it with this poem, Lori. From the steam heat to the Bunsen burner sun to the wasted stinging sweat. Summertime! Bring back cool weather, I wasn't one who was wishing for this. I also relate to the cold glass to forehead.

Here in Kansas we get hot and dry and the humid too. When we get rain it is like a sauna and when there is no rain it is like a confection oven. I'm happy you liked my poem.

Speaking of global warming Jimmy, this has been the oddest year for weather here. We have had quite a bit of rain in July and several below normal temperatures and it looks and feels more like June and I think we had frosts up to the end of April (maybe in to May) that may not sound like "warming" but I know it is connected to a change in world wide weather patterns.It didn't get very cold this winter so this has been an awful year for fleas and ticks and other creepie crawlies that mostly die off during the winter.
