L is for Listless

Posted on April 14, 2022 by ellacraigwrites

An attempt to produce a poem or story from now until the end of April (except Sundays).
The theme for the 2022 A to Z Challenge is the human condition.

That glorious summer
Of dog day afternoons
How we laughed
Until our faces ached
And it hurt to smile
Or even frown

We were having a heatwave
A tropical heatwave
But a love half-baked
Soon turned to ashes
In the furnace
Of our hearts

    Well, sang it! No idea if it’s from an old proverb or some long-dead philosopher😝

  If you’re in the northern hemisphere, you’ll soon be able to enjoy new old summer days!
