Hello, September

Hello, September -
     You crept in so quickly
             the calendar is halfway through with you!
My birthday came and went.
      Wishes that I made - I hope they'll all come true.

Hello, September -
     Thank you for the roses
              which on our bushes bloom violet and red.
Three weeks ago just buds -
        they now stand high and way above my head!

Hello, September - 
     Mornings now are cooler.
               Gone is August's horrid heat at midday.
October, please delay.
       Forever, dear September, could you stay?

Just Lovely! ...with a lovely message. I loved September the most when I lived in Buffalo. Calm weather, cool evenings, the trees tuning color. And my tomatoes and peppers were ripe, too! ...Fran

Here, it's the monsoon season but we enjoy the rain, as we need it badly... Though the weeds in our garden multiply like anything, we never complaint rain... Loved your verses, especially I enjoyed reading the last stanza... Beautifully done, Andrea ...
