Summer Sun

Living in the heat

Summer smacks like a conflagration

in the southwest parts of our good nation

 

Thirst builds and nature wilts

sweat pours as the season tilts

 

Dust blows and asphalt magnifies

reminiscent of ants and a boy relishing other's cries

 

Seeking shade and finding shelter

anything to ease the swelter

 

Debating where to set the AC dial

barely dressed the preferred style

 

Visible waves of rising heat

careful what you touch and where you take a seat

 

Summer sun a ball of fire

hydration and comfort your main desire

Would love any feedback, usually don't prefer to write rhyming poems.
