Summer Heat

by DragonSkulls

~
Summer,
why murder Spring,
you ungracious bastard?
Why make the beach unbearable
while trying to peel the flesh from my bones?
Precious shade...our only survival.
Your sun burns in mockery.
There's no escaping
your savage
heat.

Come On Summer!! writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt
Write an Even-The-Odds poem about the anticipation of summer. That's it for the topic requirements -- make it funny, make it sad, make it WHATEVER you think it will take to make us vote for yours!! :) :)

An Even-The-Odds poem is such that:

The syllable count is 2-4-6-8-10-9-7-5-3-1 [starts out with evens and finishes with odds]

The first line (two syllables) and the last line (one syllable) are synonyms
There is no rhyme requirement, although it isn't discouraged.

Example:
Evening Performance
By Y. M. Roger

Fairies
Flit through the air
Chromatic symphony
Of effulgent streaks and glitter
Performing ?neath where the trees meet the stars
Tonight, the crickets and frogs join in
Enhancing the vibrant show
You?ll never forget
Dancing with
Sprites!


The sand on the beaches gets too hot to even walk on. Let alone the fact,
30 seconds after you open a refreshing beverage it's to warm to still be.
