A Special Kind of August

Mulched in latent sunshine, the language of trees speak to me softly, 
like the first gentle rain of May.  Drenched in full dew the Marigolds 
concealed from the heat scorches of July, thrives in a garden nook. 
True to their nature  sturdy and strong with scent, they grace us with 
orange fires, like true beauties that they are.   It is a special kind of 
August this year, one that has ripened into a real God send.  
Warm days  and cool evenings are a welcome sight.  
Two months ahead from June, August sits closer to the promised 
Autumn with its reds and orange hues.  
It is a prime picking month for  Apricots, Cherries,  and Watermelons.  
What a joy it is to welcome this beautiful month,  with hope in our 
hearts.   Let us live out August and make great memories, so that when 
September comes around, we can sweetly remember the magic colors
of one beautiful passing summer.

Though it is terribly hot, I enjoy August with its fruit and swimming (good thing we don't have sharks here :)) Hugs

Life may be like that at times, and August is a lovely month. With so many hues to choose from. July and June are also favorites of mine. Also, your last phrase, "Let us live out August and make great memories," wonderfully encapsulates the spirit of your poem.
