7th Grade Poetry Portfolio: Villanelle

I cannot deal without the heat

Summer always gives you

Or the sunglasses shorts and bare feet.

 

My life would not be complete

Believe me I’ve tried to

And I cannot deal without the heat.

 

I love that summer sweet

It’s popsicles and outdoors that I pursue,

And sunglasses, shorts, and bare feet.

 

I do not like snow and sleet

Winter always seems to fall through

I cannot deal without the heat

 

I love tanning on the concrete,

Not putting on the hats and mittens that make me blue

But sunglasses, shorts, and bare feet.

 

Winter can’t compete

32° below just won’t do

I cannot deal without the heat

The sunglasses, shorts, and bare feet.
