You hit it with this timely poem. Saw the old gentleman taking cover, not from the heavy rain but from the burning rays from the sun. There he sits on his cot, not moving, thinking of the cool winter snow.
Good luck. Thank you.

I get it! The sibilant "S" makes a sizzle sound to create an onomatopoeia of steaminess. You are seriously clever!!! I haven't read all the entries yet, but this one just went to the top of my list!!! Good luck, oh talented Myster Poet!!

You've painted such a suffering scene of how summer can be torturous
misery for many people. There are many homeless
people everywhere who bear
both of the wrath of summer
and winter. My best wishes
for the contest. ~
