My face is red, and oh my head, Evades not the languid torrid.
Feel the heat of the day, Receive humidity from the bay, Oh, for winter’s rain! My heart longs for the heat to wane…
The tread of unshod feet, Heats like burning peat, Incessant smog hangs low, Shadowing every lonely crow.
Haze hides sun and sky, Every day ends with a sigh: Air conditi’ning’s sweet relief, Thou, summer, please be brief!
Yes, I know, summer days aren’t really here yet, but it sure feels like it here! It’s 35 C outside right now, with 47\% humidity. It’s in the 40’s every afternoon. And it’s May… and I’m already longing for “vacation’s sweet release” at my gramma’s house in Washington State and my music camp.
(And I used James's secret message technique... it was a challenge, but very fun. :) )

Well Done!
I didn't even realize you were using an acrostic until I read the side content. Nicely done!

wonderful
This was so good! I had to go back and look for the "hidden message" but I found it :)
It gets really hot were I like too, but it's not a sticky hot...just a dry hot, which can be very annoying when you have long, DRY hair to deal with :)

This was really good. I love
This was really good. I love it. And the hidden message. Very nice. How long did it take to do it?
As far as hair, terrible stuff, so annoying. Very rarely does hair listen, and do what it's told.

I don't think it took me
I don't think it took me longer than 30 minutes, but I'm not sure.

Hm Hm. Funny. We haven't
Hm Hm. Funny. We haven't gotten REALLY hot yet...I really don't think I mind. Humid heat is the worst kind of heat. It sticks to you and even jumping in a pool doesn't help. You poor boiling creature...swamp coolers don't help, do they? Oh, and the secret message thing was just lovely. It must have taken a while.

Thanks!
Thanks, y'all!
The acrostic was actually more fun than hard. I'd never really done anything like that before.
Old Fashioned Girl - Humidity and long, wavy hair don't go well together, either. :P It kinda goes "poof" if I go outside in the summer when it's wet.

I love the secret message. :D
