Heat

Heat that's tight in humid

No let up, no chill

Sweltering, no shelter from it

Beating closer still

Counting Blessings

If you're feeling lowly

And, you've lost your smile

Count up all the little blessings

That you have in life

Heatwave?

Splash - iced water, freezing

Snowy, blowy skies

Shiver in the snow and ice, as

Breath clouds hang outside

Pinnacle Panache

Innovative concepts

Save us time and cash

This allows for other pursuits:

Safe Spaces

It pays to share concerns

Get things off your chest

Cut your demons down to size

Mind then put at rest

Stay Humble

He has a vast knowledge

Encyclopaedic brain

But, does he know what he doesn't know?

Should these things remain

Unafraid

Months turn into weeks, and

Weeks turn into days

Life can make you test yourself

Do not be afraid

Orchestral

Assemble your woodwinds

And, of course, your strings

Then, you have brass and percussion

Instruments that sing

Slalom

Taciturn Jurassic

Tuba juice chicanes

A workaholic's slush fund calls out

Black runs' darkest name

What We Want For Our Children

A head filled with knowledge

A heart filled with peace

A mortal soul so filled with kindness

Growing will not cease

Stones

A small pouch of gemstones

Of value - no equal

Sought out by determined men

Well-armed and deceitful

Cigarettes

Suicidal suction

When busy or bored

When you've burned through all you've got

Get hold of some more

Deuce

The best conversations

Have topspin and slice

Be aware of when you tell, and

When you seek advice

Conceal

Intrusive and racing

Thoughts otherwise fun

Uncombined and stripped right back

...Just put down the gun

Eclipsing

A future looking down

As the highest paid

Keep eclipsing more and more

Competition slain

The Holographic Causeway

Mane/ nocte meds time

Ambient malaise

Depending on your source composure

Could be in for days
