Never Happy
J.M. Strother

August;

Miserable, sticky.

Sweltering, Steaming, Sweating.

Apparently, satisfaction's never found.

Freezing, forbidding, fatiguing.

Miserable, cold;

February.


Better late than never, eh? I'm not sure I like this form – it seems too restrictive. I sort of like the 1-2-3-4-3-2-1 format, but I don't really care for specifics of having to use two adjectives and three -ing words for lines two and three. Seems to handcuff the writer, to my way of thinking. Still, and interesting challenge. Glad I made it while we're still in August.
