September

Warm, cornflower blue September skies, 
Chase away end of summer 
Escorting in the beginning of 
Unruffled, cool, wet, autumn 
Shortening the days. 

Days of exhausting work
From dusk until dawn 
Bring a successful abundant harvest 
As summer closes.

Touch of living gaze and jump into 
An intricate maze of crescendo color, 
Flickering in a tangled blaze 
Of whispering filigreed leaves. 
Mother Nature's natural unspoiled 
Watercolor weft tapestry. 

The air creeps along 
Filled with tickled laughter 
Bring shedding leaves down 
Onto the ground cover. 

Rainy, and sunny filled days 
Raise a gentle favouring breeze 
Journey under gray and orange skies.

Nature's essence, 
Of harmony and rhythm 
A soul of perfection beneath 
Shadowed shade and sigh 
The flow of rapture proceeds in joy. 

Children go back to school 
On the big yellow bus 
Driving the bus driver crazy.

Lovely piece, your last line, I relate to. For kindergarten drop offs, the parent (guardian) must meet the bus at the end of the driveway or the driver takes him/her back to school. Every day, my grandson is asleep, and the driver has to leave his seat and go back and wake him up. Bless his heart, at least Jase is one of the quieter ones.

Really nice Eve. This is September for sure and it is perfectly timed because i got stuck behind a school bus on my way home last night so it wasn't only the bus driver who was driven crazy. : )
