Summer stretches then fades
Into nights longer than days.
Languid light casts shadows,
Elongated and narrow.
Nocturnal beings thrive while
Crickets tire and slow,
Exhausted and ready to rest their bow.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.

Beautiful work, Alyssa! The cricket imagery was superb
Such wonderful imagery in this :) And I loved 'read to rest their bow' what a cool phrasing.
