The Heat of the Day
Write a poem inspired by this theme.
Heatseeker
In the heat of the day
I ate meat on a tray
With ghost pepper spray
And spicy cheese souffle’
Washed it down with coffee
What is wrong with me?
All I really want is to be
Cool and heatstroke-free
I put on a wool sweater
The one with the red letter
didn’t make me feel better
Just made my face redder
I then ran into a sauna
Began to feel some heat trauma
Why do I do what I don’t wanna?
Why don’t I do what I oughtta?
I’m beaten by my troubles
I’m a popped boiling bubble
I’ve melted into a sweat puddle
My desert counts for double
I feel the cool breeze of favor
White as snow that doesn’t waiver
A love that changes my behavior
As living waters flow from my Savior
