Look at a line, a stanza, sentences, and images; describe what you like or don’t like; and offer an opinion. If you missed my review of her book, check it out here.
Today’s poem is from Marilyn Lott:

Dog Days of Summer
It’s a hot and lazy time of year
With temperatures rising high
A body doesn’t want to work
Doesn’t even want to tryIt’s time to lie around and rest
Not exert much energy
It’s too hot to work but rather
We want to take it pretty easyAnd if you do have to work
Either do it early in the morn
Or after the sun goes down
Sometime before the dawnOh how nice it feels
On these dog days of summer
When the sun drops down
The day has turned a bit coolerSo in the midst of winter time
When snow is on the hills
Dog days of summer sound
Kind of good amongst the chills!
What do you think?
