Septembe Blues

September, you are a wistful song Summer sheds a tear when you come along Sunny summer melodies yield to your mellow song Its melody fades while yours grow strong Summer ends and a certain sadness ensues Sunny days make way for winter blues September gives us glimpses of summer Though days be short and golden leaves slumber The vibrant colors September brings disguise the coming winter sting As summer dies it makes one last sunny stand But will return, for thats how it was planned Until then we must endure a harsh season All bundled up, keeping warm is the reason When the first snow falls The pristine beauty leaves us enthralled Soon summer will begin anew Gray clouds make way for skies of blue We awaken from our winter slumber And welcome the butterflies of summer For Joanne Grisetti's Copy Cat contest :Inspired by the poem: September Which was written by: Andrea Dietrich

Joseph, you have told me this is inspired by my September poem and I am honored that my poem inspired a poem of beauty such as this one from you. Since this is for the Copycat poetry contest, I am wondering if you have already entered it. You need to put my name and my poem that inspired this at the bottom of the page if you want to enter it into the contest. I sure hope it does well for you. Thanks for using my poem for your inspiration. luv, Andrea
