September

September

The trees began to bend 
sussurus with sound
September was so close
I could smell her breath.
A gold medalist 
twirling Oak leaves
in her hands,
gathered
in bunches and
scattered them
skyward
with a gust
of wind.

Remember me
he spins
remember me 
in 
September,
'neath school books
and apricot Essays,
with necklaces
strung of
purple clover

Doesn't she smell lovely? A little tired from all the heat but ready to cool down and play Indian summer ;)

Tourists are gone from here.....now starts the best time of the year ( : O )

[Corset]

Do you get a lot of tourists in NH? Florida was like that, I'm glad to be back homeish, Texas is hot and mostly dry but, I don't seem to be effected as much by tourists here.

September. A time of betrayal, and beauty. When the leaves betray the trees, and the Sun ignores the crops. New alliances. New mentors. New muses.
Nature can be beautiful cruel. Starting, in September.

Lovely work, C.

Ahhh September, a time for change as Mother nature begins to get rid of the old to make way for the new.

[Corset]

happens every year, thank you R&R

Our revolution in relation to the Sun draws us around and the gravity summed with our leaning produces familiar colors and scents. Remind us that we have but one less trip around that life birthing orb to create us into a pleasant memory midst the hearts that love us most.

yes indeed new friend love your poetry, be by soon.
