Listen to poem:
Surviving August
Surviving August
David J Walker
The cooler days
you said you can’t wait for
Are finally coming
But you don’t know when
It feels like rounding a corner
The last quarter of the year
Becomes clear as the dog days
Of summer set in
Just days away
September Simmers
into Autumns thirst and
A dying harvest
I hear
There will be a fair
Where the wares of
farming craftsmen and the affairs of
charming farm women will be judged
Why not enter this year
As a way to survive August
