The Excitement I Hold For Fall

Yesterday I saw a leaf or two fall to the ground Today while walking I heard a crunching sound Looking up I saw some leaves had turned yellow The middle of August and temperatures are mellow I'm getting so excited because it's almost September I've been this way about fall as long as I can remember Tomorrow I'll go shopping for apples and sweet cider The store clerk laughs and couldn't be more snider Apples I got plenty, but aren't you rushing the fall season Summer's not even over yet so what is your reason So I tell him, not feeling the slightest bit of shame September is my favorite month and the trees feel the same Author Eileen Clark 2023

Excellent rhyming and one of the best Month poems I've read.

This is a lovely poem Eileen. Your love and anticipation of the glory to come shines throughout the poem. I love that last line, ‘September is my favourite month and the trees feel the same.’, So enjoyed reading it. Have a wonderful autumn :)

Must be an older poem since September almost over? In any case we get it. Your enthusiasm is contagious
