Waiting for Summer

The last thing I knew

June was coming

creeping around the corner

But I blinked

and I missed it

Because the chill and the rain

didn't stop for summer

They taunted and teased

and held it at bay

So I made my own sun

and kept it inside

and June slipped

and fell into July

which simply melted

to nothing

And as August skulks

in deadly heat

there's no relief in this

Because now, here

I'm trapped

just waiting

for summer to arrive
