September 1

Sunday's, heavy heat 
heralded no warning
change of weather.
Golden finches
flitted from calendula 
to zinnia 
in no particular hurry.
Happy for the long
day and abundant seeds.    
Monday morning drivers 
stop behind
golden buses, impatiently
unaware of hungry birds.
A shiver
in the breeze
catches school children
and feasting finches 
by surprise.
Autumn storm waits 
off the coast 
as the barometer
crashes, a clash
of seasons. 
rain tomorrow, 
Golden sun 
shimmers through 
whispering, 
still green,leaves.
 Summer skies 
make no promise
beyond  today.
