888

 The sun that sparked so hot so bright is like

A silver penny never worth the fight 

For what of clouds holding  a storm alike 

Can heaven prevent a wayward glance now 

Each day dazzles so hot so bright is like 

Inferno walking the streets scant and bare 

Timid ones are hidden away unlike 

Brash revelers of heat and scorching sun 

Is this a good time to go on a hike 

If an arm can hide under cotton sleeve 

Then sun can dance so hot so bright is like

    Gillena, it never gets hot like an inferno here in Michigan. It would be nice once in awhile! I like knowing there are remedies to stay cool within the inferno.

    "Inferno walking the streets scant and bare"

    Wow... Is it just me, or is it hot in here, Gillena?

    I have almost never felt such heat (except when I lived in the desert), you have to learn how to manage, love how you said it.

    We are in the midst of a winter heat wave … that will certainly not last long. Your poem is a delight! Stay cool.

    You made me feel the heat--that inferno. Quite a walk, Gillena!😊
    It won't be that hot here for months.
