September

Singing birds outside my window Every morning, merrily twitting Purple tulips when I open the drapes To let in the light; it pours over my face - Except when the neighbor is on his mower, Motor grumbling, closer and closer, Bedsheets hide me as I curl in a ball, this Evil noise is ruining my wake-up call! Eventually, the Roaring subsides, and I’m revived, by nature’s reprise 9/3/11 Received 3rd place in "Fall is Around the Corner" contest

Great acrostic with smooth flow, use of assonance, consonance; the words mesh so well. Delightful.

I like this typical look at a Sepember morning at your house, Susan. Great assonance in that last line with the i sounds, as well as alliteration of the R's! I also enjoyed the way you described opening the drapes to those purple tulips. So homey! Luv, Andrea
