Notes About The Poem

September Sestet Poetry Contest- Sponsor Andrea Dietrich

A September Thing- SS

Autumn flowers bloom in colorful hues 
Joe Pye Weed plants' tint purplish blues 
Sweet tasting nectar sipped' butterflies and bees
While the dragonflies' mate on the barks of oak trees 
September's night skies orangish moon 
Appears at dusk like an enormous balloon
