Summer Sizzle

 

Potted petals, leaves dry and brittle,

line up patiently for their daily drizzle.

 

A sprinkle of H₂O and plenty of TLC,

they are spared a sunburnt tragedy.

  

 A war of hide and seek 

with the fiery foe in the sky,

they dodge its burning bullets,

  blocked by marble allies.

 

Even those who worship

the rays of its force,

 

 do not brave the watery oasis,

but, instead, change course.

 Only the fierce and the flying 

dare to socialize, 

taking a dip and a dive

before jetting back to their hives,

 refuelled, and on 

the runway, and

ready for takeoff.

Thanks for visiting

and have a fun weekend!
