Notes About The Poem

End of Summer

August is fading 
lushest blooms kiss a fierce sun
sudden surprise chills

standoff of seasons
spicy fragrance thrills both sides
butterfly bliss hides

skies still berry blue
melancholy wake up call
honking geese southbound

a brightly stained world
all of nature is colors
changing endlessly
