Written for Mike Singleton's September Dollar Prompt:
🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂
Rainy days with falling leaves
We bid farewell to summer's ease
🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂
We wish it stayed a bit longer
But eventually days become colder.
🪐⭐️🪐⭐️🪐⭐️🪐⭐️🪐⭐️🪐⭐️🪐
Friends are gone, I'm home alone,
Scrolling for hours on my phone.
🪐⭐️🪐⭐️🪐⭐️🪐⭐️🪐⭐️🪐⭐️🪐
Rotting in my bed all day,
School has started, I should pray,
🌧☂️🌧☂️🌧☂️🌧☂️🌧☂️🌧☂️🌧
Because I didn't learn a word
Tomorrow's test sounds too absurd.
🌧☂️🌧☂️🌧☂️🌧☂️🌧☂️🌧☂️🌧
Why can't the weather be dry?
I don't mind the cloudy sky,
🌠☄️🌠☄️🌠☄️🌠☄️🌠☄️🌠☄️🌠
But if only I would not get soaked
Everytime I put on a coat...
🌠☄️🌠☄️🌠☄️🌠☄️🌠☄️🌠☄️🌠
I miss the long talk summer nights
All those memorable times
🌒🕰🌓🕰🌔🕰🌕🕰🌖🕰🌗🕰🌘
When the alarm was silent
Waking up early wasn't frequent.
🌒🕰🌓🕰🌔🕰🌕🕰🌖🕰🌗🕰🌘
I know I should get more sleep.
For a day off I would weep.😭

About the Creator
The daughter of silence
It all started when Echo was five. She kept having these nightmares where she would just fall into a dark pit, screaming insanely loud, yet no one, not even her own parents would hear her. It was terrifying. But the most horrible part was that when she'd wake up panting, her parents were nowhere to be found, just like in her dream. She'd always cry herself to sleep alone and helpless.

I like the autumn, but you are correct we all miss summer when the days begin to shorten.
Aw! To have summer's sun all year round, still I like autumn, cool but not rain so much. the colors here is fun for the senses.

This is a fun poem, Anna! Summer is over and reality comes crashing down! Great work!
Great poetry! Really enjoyed reading this piece
Great work! I could feel the shift of seasons in my bones
You know, sometimes I think about how nice it is to still have some sense of the different seasons. I mean the difference of the seasons. With climate change, winter is slowly disappearing. I can't remember the last time we had a white Christmas. God, they were beautiful. Very nice writing.
This is absolutely charming.
This was so melodious, really beautiful, Anna!
That is a wonderful set of words beautifully presented and I hope it gets a deserved Top Story
I think we can all identify with that last line :) A wonderful response to the prompt.
