The summer heat is a killer
It’ll wick all the moisture away
Leaving a dried-out husk behind
You’ll dehydrate like beef jerky
Shrivel up like a sour grape
Cause one to wilt down like a flower
Sweat will dry up like a pond
The summer heat is a murderer
Turning the green grass brown
Leaving nothing but dust in its path
Causing mirages to shimmer in the distance
The locust and cicadas come out and
eat what the heat does not wipe away
It’ll make the air you breath feel like a furnace blast.
The summer heat is an executioner

Yeah, we need to cool down, but power company profits are more important to governments. Excellent words
Beautifully stated. ❤️🔥 I hate summer heat so much.
It's been killing us here. Well done. Love the image, too.
Yes. Summer heat is a killer indeed. Well done.
Nature is indeed indiscriminate and not always kind! Don't get in its way! Nice poem!
Amazing piece! With the heat we had, although not high to most people, it's true.
Love this poem. We just went through a heat wave where I live and this is pretty much exactly how it felt, though I could never put it this eloquently.
