August
August
breathes
hot
tiger-breath
on my burning skin
and stalks me
to the icy river
where I plunge right in.
August
crouches
on the bank
and steams
in its own heat.
I'd like to drag it
in with me
and freeze it
ears to feet.

Summer
When it's hot
I take my shoes off,
I take my shirt off,
I take my pants off,
I take my underwear off,
I take my whole body off,
and throw it
in the river.

Continuing to enjoy your Redwork! Such cute designs. The poetry is fun, too! I'm not wild about summer, either. Much prefer sweaters, socks, jeans, and scarves!
ReplyDeletePoor snowman. Makes me laugh.
ReplyDeleteOMG he is so cute!!! Thanks for sharing your snowmen with us. He looks like I feel!!!
ReplyDeletei can identify with that snowman after the past few weeks in Japan. Luckily, Minnesota is a whole lot cooler. Imagine hunting up a jacket when the sun goes down!
ReplyDeleteThis cute snowman reminds me of the Wicked Witch's line in the Wizard of Oz - "I'm mellltiingg!"
ReplyDeletePerfect design to represent the condition I'm in during the entire month of August here in Texas!
