We Have All Written Poems about September - and, yes, this is a poem about September

We Have all Written Poems about September

 

 

(Not applicable on that half the planet where September is a springtime month)

 

(Certain taxes and fees might apply)

 

(Offer void where prohibited)

 

(Some assembly required)

 

Everyone writes poetry about September

The cooling of the summer-sun-beaten earth

A few more hummingbirds with maps of Mexico

A first leaf skittering across the grassy lane

 

The sky looks a little different somehow

A fresh breeze rises with the gentle dawn

Sitting outside at dusk is comfortable now

Notebook and pen are easier to the hand

 

Everyone writes poetry about September

As every worker and dreamer ought to do
