The prose and poetry below respond to a CDHK challenge about love in summer. At 50 words in total (not counting boilerplate), they could have responded to an earlier challenge in the same series but were not ready in time. Can’t rush love (or barbecue).
(BTW, the [Menu] button atop the vertical black bar reveals the widgets.)

Lovers joined the crowd on the beach last night, watching fireworks shot from a barge. Now they watch the sunset.

Sunset on the Next Day
The clouds burn yellow,
smolder red, and fade to gray.
The love keeps burning.
Rockets lit the sky last night;
more fireworks in bed tonight.
Mellow Curmudgeon 
“Can’t rush love or barbecue”–love it!
