September

                                                                                

Birds are happier in September

Trilling jubilantly the grand finale of summer

The entrance of fall

Skies are a deeper saphire blue in September

Contrasting against the emerald and indigo leaves

The aquamarine of the Spruces

Blooms are fuller in September

 Pink petunias and lime green sweet potatoes cascading over flower boxes

Cheerful sunflowers shine like the sun’s bright rays

 Animals are friskier in September

With cooler days and crisper nights

They frolic and hide under the tents of the Virginia Creeper

Foods are tastier in September

Home grown tomatoes with salt and pepper the juices dripping down chins

The blush of fresh peaches in pies with soft whirls of cream on top like a white crown 

Even stars stand out more brilliantly in the night sky in September

Cassiopeia and Libras scales

Perfectly balancing the change of the seasons

 No wonder September is my favorite time of year
