September Summer

Memories of children's chatter Lightly rock lonely playground swings Yellowing grass, thirsty and thin Bronzed hours sealed up in ship bottles Daylight's ample breath slows, shallow School bus dawn's mounted regiment. Summer fat squirrels bury nuts 09/06/19

This is excellent-every line of it. I think my favorite may be the 6th. :)

Summer is beautiful, the liveliest season of all, but all too soon it is gone and all too soon the year has gone and another year starts with yet another season. An awesome poem Michelle. Hugs, Jenny.

"summer fat squirrels" - they do thin down in the autumn yet I never thought about it until this second. Good job Michelle!

yes farewell to summer indeed I especially loved 'yellowing grass, thirsty and thin' so apt when I see the farmers making hay for winter food:-) hugs Jan xx

Seasons come and go Michelle and so do the years, we should absorb each one with its beauty - a great write and awesome imagery. Hugs, Jennifer.
