SUMMER

Skin a burnished copper
Flaming ochre mane
The white heat of a smile
Cornflower blue eyes blaze

Flaming orbs in her ears
Flowers in her hair

Now there’s no escaping

Her sweltering stare

Temperatures soar
with every step
she’s so hot
she makes you sweat

Leaves you parched

You barely murmur
Welcome her
Here comes summer
