David Crandall Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

9/17/2025 for September Sestest Poetry Contest sponsored by Andrea Dietrich 

A September Baby-SS

September babe, can I only sigh?
You have silenced me with twinkling eye:

Would you ask a siren why she should sing?
Or say, "Cupid, must you, your arrows, fling?"
To Pan, would you inquire, "Why play flute?"
 
     So, why ask a baby why she's so cute?
