Glow of September

The glare of hot days isn’t yet gone, through window open on pale lawn, music of rustling leaves I hear. As summer scene fades I see clear, sky sparkles with sapphire allure, silk clouds drift with silver contour. Thin thickets trap tinge of sunblast, hued web on them won’t ever last. Green leaves wait to wither and fall, hearing the looming autumn’s call. Brown grass blades in dusty meadow sip scarlet sunrays, and they glow. After the pristine pearls of dew dry up at the end of morn new, in my mind twilight gleam will flow. Touch of September’s last warm glow I will soak to the full, and hold through the fall into winter cold. ________________ September 14, 2021 Syllable count : 8 per line checked on HMS Contest : Hello September Sponsor : Mystic Rose Rose

Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. I enjoyed reading your contest entry. "After the pristine pearls of dew dry up at the end of morn new," I especially like these lines. Sara
