Ode to Cool Days

Breeze, breathe life into my dehydrated body

Let your arms hurl at that sun’s gaudy Roddy

Your choreographed dance for the fodder

A delicious tune that is far broader

 

But, oh the days that winter must bring

The warm sunlight reminds us of spring

The perfect weather for elaborate plans

To lay in the sun with outstretched hands

 

Despite the warm days,

I belong to the bitter, cold air that pays

That pays to keep me sane

You keep me from pain

This piece was made during my Creative Writing class. I wanted to highlight how I felt as a child during days that gave us a break of the burning heat of Texas.
