August Breezes

August breezes will soon give way To blasts of cold from old North wind, Only briefly autumn holds sway, August breezes will soon give way To September’s chilly foray. Is there never a peaceful blend? August breezes will soon give way To blasts of cold from old North wind. Written August 19, 2022

Thanks so much, Gina. I love the colors, but I start getting chilly, and I hate cold weather. I think it was all those years traipsing to the school bus in the snow! Hope you're doing well and having a great weekend.

We are in for it, according to the farmer's almanac and now this prophetic poem! Well done!

Thank you, Paghunda. I did realize that the seasons are reversed from us in some parts of the world, but I figured this would be from my perspective. Thanks, again.
