Dog Days
Farewell
To the dog days.
Those sultry summer days
Now flee the scene as August wanes.
No more sweltering days and sticky nights;
Summer lingers, with cooling hints
Of approaching autumn
So long, dog days...
Farewell.
To the dog days.
Those sultry summer days
Now flee the scene as August wanes.
No more sweltering days and sticky nights;
Summer lingers, with cooling hints
Of approaching autumn
So long, dog days...
Farewell.

Nice one!
Revisiting :)
I prefer the autumn days but it has been a short summer.
Dog days aren't quite done yet. Very enjoyable poem.
Nicely done! I can't wait till it cools off here. Triple digits for a month on end is just too much!
I love the end of summer. Heat and I do not get along well. Plus, school starts at the end of summer, and I love that!
I hate to see the close of summer. Great poem~
