Notes About The Poem

- Hello August -

Summer sun minutes are counted

                          Nature clears space for autumn

                          Man recognizes the colors

                          From green to barn red and gold

                         - fresh impressions and experience

                          Everything will soon be repainted

                          I hear you shout my name ...

                          the eardrum is temporarily closed

                          - not quite ready for fall yet

Jennifer Proxenos August 20, 2021 at 12:16 PM Hi Sunshine Smile, my dear friend, Contrary to Europe and America and many other countries, South Africa, as its line of latitude gives away, is entering Summer and August for us is a month of gusty winds and erratic weather, one day hot, the other cold. Had a cold Winter which for us here is unheard of -7 degrees C. Summer is when plants peep out and blossoms surround us, my ears open to the popping of an oncoming Spring, you wrote a great poem Sunshine Smile. Hugs and blessings Jennifer. Anne-Lise Andresen August 20, 2021 at 12:26 PM - Summer is short in Norway, dear Jenny ... 20 c + is rare ... a lot of rain and a lot of wind - August can offer autumn ... (even if it is a little early) - This spring and summer went way too fast because of mine hospital stay ... and too much pain - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Anitha Jayasankar August 19, 2021 at 10:51 AM Lovely way of putting it... "the eardrum is temporarily closed"... Time, her steps appear to be slow when we face new experiences and fast when we face familiar ones... such is the magic of the flow of time..Enjoyed reading dear Anne... Hugs.. ~ Ani Anne-Lise Andresen August 20, 2021 at 10:46 AM - Many thanks for your comments, dear friend Ani :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
