Summer’s last laugh

I try not to take the weather personally, but when it gets malicious, I can’t help personifying it. As humid summer finally draws to a close, August gets all dressed up and goes out on the town like a college student before buckling down to the books in September. When I found out that one of the August birthstones is sardonyx, it seemed appropriate.

Sardonic August:
painted lips smirk a last quip
in a steamy blast.
