September's End

How’d September slip away, So sneaky and so fast? It doesn’t seem, since summer’s end, Sufficient time has passed. October’s waiting in the wings, So calendars must flip And into autumn’s palette, Mother Nature’s brush must dip. I look back at September, though And all the days are blurry, For as I age, I notice more That time is in a hurry.

Would have been nice to see the poem start with the word 'September' and finish with the word 'End'.
