I wheeze in these dog days.
Orange neon lights flicker across my blurry eyes –
I’m dumbed by these whirling horses,
That chip and flake in drab mahogany.
The burning days linger a little longer –
I feel my clothes sticking to my skin.
The light of Him that rode a mere donkey –
Makes me contemplate my sin.

- Comment from author about the poem: Wow - it feels good to be back. So my summer was pretty nice - went out, did some hobbies. I hope everyone had a great time during my break. This summer was pretty spiritual for me, being it I have religious relatives. I actually only wrote one poem during the break...wrote it on a little notebook paper...stored it inside a shoe so no-one else can get to it...and rediscovered it about a month later all faded and disintegrated. Soooo.....it wasn't meant to be. But I feel like this poem speaks to not only religion, but also people who have hope/faith in the supernatural or a tangible beacon of motivation. I hope you can enjoy this. (it's also a reference to global warming) ☀

Summer sure was hot in Britain.
Mary riding on the donkey is pretty relevant in Britain. Our country is run by three donkeys at the moment.
Glad you had a good summer.
Hehe, oh Paul you never fail to provide some good humor when you can.
