A Hot Summer Day


Cool night air
I sit on my deck
Relief after the heat
Hot air late afternoon
Keeps us inside
AC going full blast
Furry, panting dog
Lies over the vent
Blocking our air
Finding her relief
Dinner time comes
Too hot to eat
Frozen yogurt sounds good
But barbeque is best
Along with iced tea
Heat rolls off the patio
We eat inside tonight
And long for cooler days
When we can enjoy the outdoors
Without dripping and dragging
And risking heat stroke
We’ll check the forecast
Then look towards tomorrow
And I sit on my deck
In the cool night air
