LATE AUGUST, LATE SUMMER...

Late August is not summer in arrears;

           It's September that marks an equinox.

Yet, the wasps have grown mad from

The barmy wave of heat and fuss...


Sizzling cicadas sing non-stop,

Poppies bloom and wilt

In Augusts' incense;

The sky grows rich as

Butterscotch pudding...

The shade provides no pretense.



poem by L.P.-G.
