good-bye 
summer

see you
next year

your turn
autumn

bring your
cool breeze

gleaming
light frost

do your
magic

changing 
leaves from

green to
golden

red and
purple

see them
cascade

leaving 
bare limbs~~

mums and
pumpkins

brighten
porches

kids in
costumes

trick or
treating

special
Thursday

when we 
gather

speak of
blessings

feast on
turkey

autumn 
now is

two-thirds
over

soon...

respite’s 
calling

cool drops
falling

gentle
thunder

it’s no
wonder 

we feel
heady

autumn-
ready

we’ve stopped
sweating 

sighing
fretting

just for
now, though

for we
all know

heat will
hold sway

by this
Tuesday!...

weather’s
trying

humid
hazy 

has me
sighing

feeling
lazy

temps not
dropping

sweat is
pooling

clothes are 
sopping

we crave
cooling

autumn’s 
coming

respite 
bringing

I’ll be
humming

praising
singing!...

Forecast
raise mast

Air mass
eat grass

Storm front 
bear brunt 

Blue skies
time flies 

Dark clouds 
dull  crowds

Wet spell
from hell

Sunshine 
divine 

Strong gust 
disgust 

Gale force 
morose 

Lightning...

Summer’s 
ending;

autumn’s 
pending.

Nature   	
teases,			

sending	
breezes 

cool and	
pleasing

but so
fleeting.

Temps rise  	 
greeting

summer 
lovers.

Autumn 
hovers.

Soon warm
covers

will be 
needed.

Those who
pleaded

for fall’s 
coming

will be
humming.

climbing
running

laughing
sunning 

hoses 
spraying

outside, 
staying

till past 
sunset

Happy?
You bet!

summer 
swelter

seeking 
shelter

fanning 
sweating

sighing
fretting

turn up
AC

now I’m 
happy

Kids shout,
“School’s out!”

So soon,
it’s June.

July,
temp’s high.

Kids play
all day.

Ump’s call:
“Foul ball.”

Grass grows. 
Dad mows.

Sun’s hot.
Pool’s not.

Rest time, 
sublime

Mom’s made
Kool-Aid

Childhood,
so good

Yellow 
Bright light

 

Long days
To play

 

Sun fun
Get burned

 


Skin red 
Cream skin

 


Summer
Picnic 

 


Hot grill
Smells good

 


Eat now
Tree shade



Play sports 
Let's swim
