Keep Cool

Keep Cool

It isn't easy to keep cool
when the temperature is hot.
When the temperature is hot,
it isn't easy to keep cool.

The heat builds, sweat begins to pool.
I grab a cloth and start to blot.
When the temperature is hot,
it isn't easy to keep cool.

Distraction might be a good tool.
I guess I will give it a shot.
Think back to a wintery spot.
Snow covers the ground, cold winds rule. 

It isn't easy to keep cool
when the temperature is hot.
When the temperature is hot,
it isn't easy to keep cool.

This poem is written in a French form called rondel double.

Throw Me a Curve

 


Throw Me a Curve 

When life throws me a curve, I have to have nerve.
Try to keep my cool, not ramble like a fool.
I view this as a test, try not to get stressed.
Set off down the path with fortitude not wrath.

This poem is a mashnavi (or mathnawi).

Seek the Shade


Seek the Shade

Seek the shade
when the day
gets too hot.
Take the time
to cool off.
When refreshed,
face the heat
once again.
