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.
