September

Sounds of school children readying for the new year Evening’s light diminishes a little more each day People put away lawn furniture and bring out their rakes Television starts its new season of shows Empty swimming pools are closed until next summer Morning has a brisk scent in the air Buses of yellow add to the early traffic Everyone grabs a jacket or sweater when they head out the door Remember summer and let it keep you warm until it comes again

Nice job! Liked the 'buses of yellow' -- don't think I read anyone else writing about the 'back to school' part of the fall equation. Congrats! Cyndi

Shani, come visit me in Florida and you can swim until the end of November (at least). Enjoyed the many different events you described that are unique to September -- schools opening, new TV seasons and, for some people, jackets and sweaters. Great write! Congratulations on your win in Carol's contest! Love, Carolyn
