TRULY ONE OF MY OWN

    My Own September Poem :

 *IN MEMORY OF LABOR DAY WEEKENDS*



Wild, warm September!
Let me dance at your knee!
An amber waltz still rustling
Sweet leaves yet to fall;
Tanned hands gathering
Baskets of vibrant
Pink cone-flowers hidden
Behind an umber-brown
Barn bearing apples.


Placid water spouts
Take a spin on earth's 
Third carousel of seasons;
Swans salute copper-colored 
Currents, as they drift by
Continuously, through the
Languid bliss of
An aging summer and
Its humid afternoons.



Rustic, red wheelbarrows
Pair their rusty palette with
Melodious wind chimes and
   Faint whispers of gathering storms...

As the sun gently strains
To kiss your forehead,
You wipe away the sweat
Of many labors lost;
It's high time to breathe
In the heavy morning mist
And simple sunsets.
This, before life's pending
Frosts arrive
And the Wintry Winds
Accost...

Poem written by Lisa Porter-Grenn
