Whoa. "The Dog Days of Summer" is just one big rush of feeling/sensation/delicious words. Since you're okay with feedback, I would consider switching the order of stanzas for "Dog Days," keeping 1 and 2 the same and then making stanza 3 the last stanza (turning 4 to 3). Aren't I good at being confusing? I think ending on an image ("the savage midday sun") makes a strong poem even stronger (not always, but I would say so in this case).
