THE BURNING SANDS
I walk across this scorching land,
My feet burning at the minerals of sand.
The dunes hiss like a snake as the night fully takes the day,
And the light fully seeps away.
I hear a hyaenas distant cry,
As the burning sand makes my feet fry.
I examine the curvature of a dune,
As the blazing sun hits like a harpoon.
A distant camel slowly wanders
Its fluffy body makes me ponder,
Ponder at the distant sight
Impossible to make out in the dark night.
I get closer until I see trees,
An oasis with shelter from the cold night breeze.
After a quick drink I hit the hay,
And say goodbye to the scorching day.

SUPERB SUMMER
Spring is like a trailer for summer
Too bad we’re still in spring what a bummer
Whether its long beach walks or summer night talks
In summer we watch the temperature rise like hawks
When u feel this first bit of summer heat
Ice cream is the only thing we want to eat
When you’re sprawled out on the beach like a cat
From the sun beating down like a bat
When you need to quench your thirst
Lemonade comes to your aid
Oh hot sunny school days are the worst
Especially when there’s sports outside to be played
It’s the best playing soccer with a friend
From day to night time is not tight
When you’re out with friends till days end
Summer is the best in that I am right

Weather in Ireland
Weather in Ireland is like rolling a dice
one day will be sunny, the next as cold as ice.
weather in Ireland is a game of chance
which makes it impossible to make any plans
You could go to the beach
you'll be soaked by the rain
Or you could decide to go ice skating
but your trip will be in vain
Yes weather in Ireland is miserable
and weather in Ireland is cold
but I still love dear old Ireland
its beauty will never get old.
