Come September
You feel a certain chill in the air as September beginsSummer clothes put away for another year to comeThere’s some sadness as summer waves goodbyeWhen we look forward to vibrant colours of autumn monthsThere are enough flowers that bloom during summertimeBut none with purple, gold, red and brown. Apples and pears nearly ready to be pickedApple pies the flavour of the month every other dayRiped pumpkins, yellow daisies, romance on haystacksThe climatic symphony of colour and scentThe gentle breeze turns to rising windDo I see a the first falling of leaves? Starry nights with Pegasus galloping into autumn skyThe flying horse is clear around the time of equinoxFolklore say heavy September rain bring droughtMarried in September, smooth and serene your life would becomeIf the storms of September clear off warmthe storms of the following winter will be warm. Children in smart uniforms ready for schoolIt’s an exciting time to see all of their friends againBut for others, it’s the worst thing they could possibly faceTeachers welcome challenges with a new set of brainsIf this is not enough to celebrate the ninth month of the yearWait till you see the golden harvest moon in the night.
