September In the U S A
September sashays in with cooler air,
new school year, shorter days, an early frost,
fall sports, cookouts on Labor Day, street fairs,
trips to the beach before the chance is lost.
From summer into autumn, we have crossed.
On the eleventh, time is set aside
for ceremonies honoring the throng
who died when wickedness personified
attacked, but our great land has proven strong—
enduring theme of movie, book, and song.
The lists of books, movies, and songs inspired by 9/11
are long and still increasing.
