The Sun of Texas

May sun is warm
An old friend
You have missed
 
June sun
Still smiles
And promises more fun
 
July sun is hot
Burning down on
Sizzling meat
 
August sun
is a four letter word
Suffocating
Deadly
Slowly cooking you
Inside out
 
August sun
is a four letter word
Hot!

(2015)

Props to my Dad on this one. Drink water everybody!

Life is good A little luxury A cup of coffee Served with toast Consumed lazily

My soft spot My sweet boy I’d do anything for Who convinced me Little boys are the best

Filler words Put me to sleep Added to cushion Take away my pillow Blunt words to wake up
