September Beauty

Summer fades into Fall (the Equinox)

By Reb KreylingPublished 4 months ago 1 min read

Hot lazy days

Dripping ice cream

Jumping through the sprinkler

And cannonballing into the pool

Smokey barbeque in the air

White teeth sink into buttery corn

Heat that makes you want to melt into the pavement

*

Day and night are equal

The sun and moon share their time

Cool in the morning

Warm in the afternoon

Summery treats are leaving

*

Cool breezes

Jackets wrapped tightly around bodies

Apples ripen, sweet treats of nature

Green leaves turn to reds and golds

School bells ring amid children’s laughter

White teeth sink into sweet apple donuts

Cold that reminds you winter is coming

*

Summer melts

into autumn chill

    Autumn is my favorite season, and you did justice to it by describing it so beautifully (with all my favorite things included).

  • Lovely poem and images… I’ve never come across an apple donut.🤔🥹
