July Pantoum

The cat stretched across the floor
The heat seemed unbearable
Overhead the ceiling fan whined
Hot air moved about freely

The heat seemed unbearable
It was only the 6th of July
Hot air moved about freely
I envied the cat’s relaxation

It was only the 6th of July
According to the flower calendar
I envied the cat’s relaxation
Summer seems so long

It hope it rains soon
According to the flower calendar
Summer seems so long
The ground is parched

Company is coming
The ceiling fan whined
I heard the car door
The cat stretched across the floor

Nice. The repetition really works here.

Thanks Christine... I've tried this form a few times and was never quite happy with it.
