Summer Can Sizzle Hot Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The eating of 'crow' and humble pie,
Is not so easy...
For one young with stars in their eyes.
Especially if the cranking up of hype is believed.
Who could avoid,
Wearing such loftiness on their sleeves.

With TV and the media all up in one's face.
And flashbulbs from cameras...
Paparazzied all over the place.
I would believe I could walk on water too!
Wouldn't you?
Especially if you were given visions,
Of wearing a crown instead of disgrace to boo hoo.

The eating of 'crow' and humble pie,
Is not so easy...
For one young with stars in their eyes.
Especially if the cranking up of hype is believed.
Who could avoid,
Wearing such loftiness on their sleeves.

But when a season ends,
And the attention leaves...
There are tears and loneliness,
No one sees as one grieves.
And a Summer can sizzle hot...
When reality sets in on shoulders to drop.

'Did you get that from King James? '

In a way.
From my own observation.
And more of a whiff of it from Revelations.
