Summer Villanelle

Your skin burns as sweat dances down your sides
While the lovely sky shines the brightest blue,
Summer is the season when life thrives

The heat of the sun is like fiery tides,
Rising across the land and seas too
Your skin burns as sweat dances down your sides

The animals and insects take the flames in stride,
Singing from the Rocky Mountains to Louisiana's bayous
Summer is the season when life thrives

The popsicles are sweet and the chicken is fried
As you laugh with your friends at a barbeque
Your skin burns as sweat dances down your sides

The sun warms your body as you sit poolside,
The beautiful sight of it setting giving you the perfect view
Summer is the season when life thrives

Summer is the season of fun times and dangerous minds;
In the Summer, there's no telling what you'll do
Your skin burns as sweat dances down your sides
Summer is the season when life thrives
