In the summer

05/02/2021 – Poem a Day Compilation



In the hot, hot summer

I often hide away

With fans and air-con blowing,

And ice-cold drinks.



I take off clothes

As much as I dare

And have cold showers

Or soak in cooling baths.



I eat watermelon

And read in the pool,

A giant sun umbrella

Shading my pasty skin.



And I try to imagine

It not so hot

And not so humid

So my brain doesn’t melt
