Notes About The Poem

September (SS) Poetry Contest

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

September SS

Savoring the last three weeks of summer…
   Soaking in the warmth of the summer sun,
   gazing at the vivid royal blue sky, like sapphire, and
   listening to the green leaves rustle in the summer breeze.
Dreading the first week of autumn … the bittersweet moment
   of letting summer go and embracing the cooler, colorful fall.

Hello Darlene. Have not really been present in PS. I missed this one. Thank you. I was in London in October 2024. Although it was raining on and off, I enjoyed it. Blessings to you.
