Curtis Johnson Poet Acrostic

September

Savor the long summer of barbecues and fun filled swimming pools

Eateries of fruits, berries, melons, and other things refreshing and  cool

Ponder vacations near or far, and the end of weeks of freedom from school

The Summer is ending, and the Fall will turn trees to orange pretty soon

Enjoyment is the word for the ninth month, a bridge of solace, as Winter looms

Melody is what I sense of thee, a soothing flow of sweetness, and not a pinch of doom

Born the fourth of twelve children, ten pounds on the tenth day, and I’m told, at noon

Etched forever in the American psyche, four planes on 911 left deep wounds

Rest, after the harvest, and for some, Rosh Hashanah; another year resumes
