A September to Remember

A single gentle rain makes the grass many shades greener. - Thoreau

with a long forgotten but welcomed swagger

a clammy, calculating lollygagger

slipping summer a mickey

in a cunning game of touchy-feely

a slick preview of autumn rain open-mouthed kisses a deliriously hot, horny season with rainy lips

tongue and all

with lewd, lacivious, unmitigated gall.

enticing her to turn down the flamethrower with a tempting taste of fall

tossing an unexpected, but hittable curve ball

questioning drought's motives

a missed taste of wetness is oh so sweet

a drinkable dutch treat

reprieving a parching heat

out to take an ambling, gastric gander

with their feathers in a dander

pompous, grand marshals with poetic candor

holding back a season of slander

no need to beg or pander

geese march through the park to partake

with that familiar, arrogant, sauntering gate

their cool, drenching parade is great

well worth the waddling wait

reminding me that

it's never too late

Author's Note

"The indescribable innocence of and beneficence of Nature,-of sun and wind and rain, of summer and winter,-such health, such cheer, they afford forever!" - Thoreau

Summer is almost over. The parching heat, the Dutch treat, the lovers' retreat. We did have so many surprises indeed this summer Pete, some which altered our lives forever. We look forward now to better times of normalcy and healing. Penned with precision and flavor of Thoreau...
