🌞 Trickster Text Thursday: Heatwave Verbs

Heatwave Verbs

Write 1–5 lines where summer overheats language.

✨Let a word melt into another meaning.

✨Let a verb do something it was never hired to do.

✨Make grammar sweat.

Example:

I asked for shade.

Summer heard shade,

and my shadow unfriended the sun,

borrowed my attitude,

then spent the afternoon

throwing side-eye across the sidewalk.

Now it’s your turn.

Break the dictionary.

The best linguistic heatstroke wins!
