Just August

last month of winter
sun lingers a tad longer
the nights though stay cool...
nature's pledge a fresh cycle
an upside down world in vogue

Are you in Australia Harry, your poem indicates you are in a Southern Hemisphere climate, like us. Although no one really knows what to expect any more! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
