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
