Joseph May Poet Quintain (Sicilian)

September

An overture to winter's frosty breath,
  September oft colors my thoughts in gray
  It signals winter's cold and summer's death,
  Casting its somber spell on me this day
 Like witches brew in ancient play Macbeth

Andrea Dietrich September 23, 2022 at 7:56 PM Joseph, I think this is beautiful writing. I was hoping more for personal memories but I sure got a lot of gems on September descriptions such as this one. Congrats in my contest.

Valsa George September 22, 2022 at 8:16 PM Beautifully composed ! I like the reference to the three witches in Macbeth making the magic brew !

Suzanne Delaney September 19, 2022 at 4:18 PM You have summed up September perfectly….. and how quickly it comes around. Wonderful writing. SuZ

Linda Alice Fowler September 12, 2022 at 6:38 AM Wow Joseph - this conjures up quite a picture. Each line is powerful and put together, casts a chill! Linda

Brandy Nicole September 10, 2022 at 7:32 PM "Like witches brew in ancient play Macbeth." Exactly ! ! I can't believe it's that time of year again. Autumn is a festive season, indeed. Your words curl around every season but Spring, which is fascinating to me. You've certainly set the mood for September. My best to you, Joseph. Hugs, Brandy

Jennifer Proxenos September 10, 2022 at 8:51 AM If I were to have a calculated guess, I would say that you definitely prefer Summer, but you describe Winter so aptly. Hugs and blessings Joseph, Jennifer.

Victor Buhagiar September 10, 2022 at 2:19 AM The change of climate in any season is fascinating. Best for a win.

Vijay Pandit September 9, 2022 at 2:25 PM Nicely done Joseph--I see the images of season turning cold and gray. Best to you.
