Joseph May Poet Triolet

Half Past Summer, Two Months Till Fall

 Half past summer, two months till fall
 Leaves are still green, sun shining bold
 Flowers still bloom, and birds still call
 Half past summer, two months till fall
 Visions of Fall, dressed in her shawl
 Her breath swirls the leaves, turns them gold 
 Half past summer, two months till fall
 Leaves are still green, sun shining bold

Sotto Poet August 9, 2025 at 4:56 AM Joseph, you have nailed the optimum junction between summer and fall, when the weather is mild yet changes are beginning to appear in nature. Subtle and vibrant!
