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
