Summer Heat

Hot August days
too hot for cool north Idaho
with temperatures reaching
ninety-four.  The sun
like a high volt radiant
light scorches flower
gardens and vegetable
beds, causing leaves to
droop, and the once
green field turn
yellow and brown
The birds and bunnies
and deer take shelter in
some secret place , then at
dusk again appear like
joyous children returning
to their favorite playground
romping and hopping
and fluttering about
