Anyways, rules are as follows, write a poem in any style using the five words that I give you. Write it in one sitting or in under an hour (only to quash your inner editor, rules are loose there). Add it here, OR link in a comment so we can enjoy each other’s' poems. The words can be in any plurality or tense. Today’s words are: composite behind gloves carnivore melt
Mine is as follows:
His gloves melted in the heat, but he kept on.
Digging for the one he knew was left behind.
As smoky night turned into rays of dawn,
There was something he hoped he’d not find.
Composite of his wishes there were for life and not death,
But smoke rose and with it the smell of carnivoristic bbq
To somehow find one who’s lips were touched with breath,
And not ruined with the smells the winds to his nose blew.
*I am going to start using a random word generator, this will add a bit of challenge in that the words may be completely unrelated!

Jecka, I missed these challenges and you over here. Here's my attempt at it for today.
This summer heat makes me want to melt like fresh churned butter,
But who really knows what Mother Nature is thinking with this weather,
It had thrown our world into a tailspin for every human and animal kind,
While we're in early summer, thoughts of a cold winter isn't too far behind.
It would keep us on your tippy toes, that's for sure and ever more,
It doesn't matter if we're a herbivore or a regular old carnivore,
That's the truth that's shown in the composite of Mother Nature's footsteps, too,
She had thrown down the gauntlet with her gloves off and ready to be true.

My composite behind
Melted like rubber gloves
That came too close
To the flames of the roasting carnivore carcass.
Sorry, I just got very stuck here. I am thinking of those people who have buttocks implants to have a beautiful booty.

Camping
The day had been long,
a composite of tiredness and relief,
as the hot sun left the sky
and they settled at their camping spot.
He pulled on his rubber gloves,
to give the greasy grill a clean.
Even the night breezes blew hot
and he felt like he might melt.
He put the burgers on to grill,
for both him and his wife.
As the scent of the meat,
wafted in the air,
from far off wolves began to howl
and he knew the meat,
was making the carnivores,
hungry.
