Analysis of Summer

Today
in the open and clear
the heat was subtle
and slow- sipping into
and slapping on skins
the browns; the blacks and the pinks
a respecter of no creed
that gentle but harsh
very obvious a heat wave
very gorgeous a display
to bask in the euphoria that its summer
summer come too soon
summer once gone is too far
so be it a heat flood
the inhabitant will see opportunity
to dress loose, jump and shout
to do bbq's and swim and surf
like it was a once a life time summer
it sure has it
sure it gathers
the known and the unknown
in this apparent joy
that everything brings
it this awesome ploy
to savour every bit; every meat
in all flavours
summer time
