Reeses Winning Entry

Trees hunched over with coconut bunches
Drape shade across lounging forms,
Still with raggedy breathing
Fevered by the summer's heat.
Ahbruis fur, meant to bar against
Winds of ice and frost
Betray its owner beneath the sun.
Wrapping and trapping the light and
Enclosing him in a warm cocoon.
A zisscor coils up upon the sand
Scales smoothly contrasting with
Jagged shells and broken glass.
Zokuleons with their scaly skin
Bask in the glare, unfazed by its
Blinding traits.
Splayed out like an open scroll,
A vix fans itself lightly.
Thermometers rise, heat
Blurs life.
Hello, summer.
