if you are curious. I can also write a poem about most anything, so if you have a topic you want written about, just ask. :) (I hate the 250 characters thing!) <br /> <br /> I&#039;ve been jumping from the tops of buildings...

Delicious humidity.
Warmth of light
From the sun
On my bare
Back.

Scalding sun burns
The skin off
Of the tip
Of my
Nose.

Sploosh of water in the
Pool as I dive
In and cool
My entire
Being.

Delicious humidity.
Scalding sunburns.
Sploosh of water.
Smell,
Taste,
Hear,
Feel,
See,
Summer.

Amazing! I thought I'd check out one of your poems (we met in the forums) and I really like this. Ahh, summer. :)
