and swagger with a crown

of laurels decked

with falling leaves

of red and gold.

She wants to sprint

to autumn, be new

September bending

Nolcha, I like how you show the difference between August and September. There's a pointed difference in their attitudes and intentions.

Thank you, Jade! Our weather has been crazy this year. Our flowers are blooming and dying early. Some are going into second bloom. Leaves are already turning red and yellow.
