September Rain

 

September wrap your arms around me
     prepare me for the fall
with refreshing cool wet rains and breeze
    for soon Autumn shall call

 

 

Put spent flowers from August to sleep
    Shine a September moon I implore
All that's been sewn is now reaped
    'Tis time to close summer's door

 

 

Oh September, your sky is shy and sly
    and I'm ready for what you tell
Lucky to be born under your stars
    I fear I know you well

 

 

A month with two faces worn

    one of sun and heat

the other tells a tale of scorn

     one of coldness and deceit

 

 

 

  For you're the changing of the guard

    this I shall always remember

and your morning rain falling in my yard

    tells me it is now September

Personification is something I struggle with. You seem to be so comfortable with each and every style of writing you do! I love to read your work. It inspires. I like the line: A month of two faces....that is so unique and impressive. L O V E D IT!
I know each piece of work you do is sure to please every reader.
Cheers, lea

September-october is my favorite time of the year, with its crisp fruits and golden-red landscape. You've captured its subtle beauty very well. I love the lines:
"A month with two faces worn
    one of sun and heat
the other tells a tale of scorn
     one of coldness and deceit"

Wonderful, anthropomorphous characterization of Autumn.
