August Poems | Examples of August Poetry

Down where the crepe myrtle blooms Their lovely color against gray The pecan trees' verdant leaves breathe August has brought a cool breeze day Does the gray sky separate, block Our view, our prayer line to heaven Or is it the colder air that chills our bones Even doves sing almost twenty-four seven Doves sing from joy and gratitude Thankful for...

I feel too overwhelmed. I feel like a thousand hands have touched me. I can't give anymore. Is it the lack of privacy? Is it the constant need of nurturing? My mind is screaming. Stop touching me. Stop talking to me. My body, mind, and soul are overwhelmed. Everyone wants something from me. Everyone wants my attention...

Emotions are like waves. Waves so strong consume me. Trying to pull me under like the riptide. But I’m failing to stay afloat. Water rushing over my head. Holding my breath till my lungs burn. Lungs burning, as they wait to gasp for air. Fighting to get my head above the water once again. Air...

Some days, too much is not enough. Other days, just enough is too much. What I used to do just to get my fix. Remembering that person who I used to be. That temporary reprieve. Lasting for what feels like only heartbeats. That temporary reprieve from physical, emotional ache. The bridges I’ve burned. The pain...

A leonine sun of August's stately presence, see the maple and oak leaves, no longer a fresh green of youth. Children will put their beach pails away, when September's boughs drop acorns. It's the closing chapter of the carefree months, when sweethearts on the moonlit boardwalks part. I enjoyed iced coffee on the patio, when the newly-mowed lawn days set us to daydreaming, watching wrens, bluebirds,...

Once adored by beholder, Soiled doves, fall in no longer. From garden to minefield, Avoidance is justified; Inamoured, favourably yield, Innocence gone vilified. Once lured by sweetness, Penetrated, unable to flee; Trapped inside glowness, Choked, unable to glee. Memories gone masterless, History, halted unspree; Living dead and throneless, ...

Vindication’s Dawn My soul does not crave the blade of vengeance, Its fleeting sting, a hollow roar. No, I seek the fire of vindication, A truth that shakes the heavens’ core. The universe, vast and woven tight, Holds every tear, each whispered plea. Its threads are bound by moral might, A tapestry the Almighty sees. No wrath of mine could right the wrong, No mortal...

Where hovering Moon touches field of ripened corn Lone ragged tree contrives to fracture perfectness. Heavens jostling myriads eager to witness how Moon Responds to such deliberate and provocative arrogance. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Where the hovering Moon touches the field of ripened corn A lone ragged tree contrives to fracture the perfectness. Heavens jostling myriads are eager to witness how the Moon Will respond...

Why is Sumner such a short time? Just getting started, then running into half past summer. July seems to be the half way mark, August is almost here. August will turn into September then into October, then fall will be here. Fall with cooler days, a pretty carpet of colorful leaves covering the ground....
