Notes About The Poem

September

September lovely September
Immerse us in colorful splendor
The next thirty days
Please thrill and amaze
With beauty we'll always remember

September lovely September
Embrace Mother Nature so tender
She may blush bright red
Turning down flower beds
While summer honorably surrenders

September lovely September
Full moon of harvest you'll render
Though lovers may stare
And dreamers may dare
You'll always be autumn's defender

An unusual triplet of limericks. Starting each verse with the same line draws them tightly together. I like.

I love September. But I hate that it's the end of summer. So I have a love hate relationship with it!! I love how you kept the same first line going and used so many great rhymes with "ember" Lovely set.
