August Ghazal

People ask where’s the year gone August
yet I face summer swelter August.

Someone wonder how times is lost
as fall lurks behind a closed-door August.

Someone revels in spring love a poetic leap
but spends time alone August.

In March a child dances
the world turns before my eyes August.

In March a child’s cry
a heavy sigh in August.

In the morning a whisper
a resonance at dusk August

In depths of night a pause
the soft cry August.

In spring a planted seed
a leaf falls August.

A gust of wind passage of time
people ask where’s the year gone August.

This form is so unusual and it's cool to see you trying one. Do you love August, my friend?

You chose quite a difficult form for your poem. I tried some in the past, but I have doubts about them.
