Sound Retreat
Sound Retreat
Ninety degrees on the first day of Fall
in the Northern Hemisphere
so now the Autumnal Equinox
has arrived and officially here.
We need a little, steady rain
to make the leaves real pretty.
Instead it’s stifling in the heat
suppressing all the city.
A hurricane is passing by
way out in the Atlantic.
Though we could stand some moisture
we do not need the panic.
They say it’s a high-pressure system
causing all the heat.
Regardless of its origins
it’s fall. So, sound “retreat.”
