Notes About The Poem

Biting Into Fall

September always brings me back
to my early childhood
that innocent naïve excitement
when butterflies fluttered free

Summer over and cool weather reminiscent
of adventures and school days
new skirt and knee highs 
new books and teachers

The unknown ahead
biting into growing up
into learning 
and into life

Gershon Wolf September 15, 2019 at 9:14 PM I can't describe why I like this so much, especially the line 'biting into life,' --- but I really, really do. It strikes a chord deep within me. (Maybe it's that this is the first September in 30 years that I'm not returning to school)… Thanks, Line. Best wishes, Gershon Line Gauthier September 15, 2019 at 11:28 PM OMG you are due for a break. Take the whole year off, Gershon!
