Not for the contest but inspired by it....thank you Edward
I lost September somewhere in the sadness lost track of shadows in the sun mourned not fading warmth nor shortened days shivering in a crystal cloak of frost. Lovers, sated on a Summer’s sweetness succumbing to the lie – forever’s now idle in the arms of humid passion wilting on the vines of plumping lust. Cold soil covering September blanketing the joys of milder days memories slow fading with the season huddled near the fencepost by the barn. John G. Lawless ©10/9/2019
