I can't think: A Poem

I can't think,
I can't focus on the clouds
to write a Sunday morning haiku.

I can't think,
I can't focus on the temperature
to write free verse about triple digits
or excessive heat warnings.

I can't think
about Las Vegas in summer
because I want
something to eat
and something cool
to drink.

Haiku

hazy afternoon
a breeze blows through olive trees
Las Vegas Sunday

Summer in Las Vegas: A Poem

unofficially summer
with triple digit temperatures
we wait for the solstice
to make the season official

excessive heat warnings
arrive on June 1
with temperatures exceeding
the century mark
summer become official
on the 21st of the month
