September

Poem in honor of the first month of Autumn that started today :)

September

September, first month of autumn
Summer has come to a close
With a last look, a last breath
Away with the wind she goes

September, first month of Autumn
Leaves begin turning to gold
The wind so warm and gentle
Begins it's change to cruel and cold

September, first month of Autumn
There is still warmth in the air
Yet not long will it stay
This knowledge hangs in the air

September, first month of Autumn
A time when earth's color transforms
A time it tires from the green
And thinks that red is better worn

September, oh September
A month that hails colors
Bright sunsets, shorter days
Rain and lots of puddles
