September Speaks
September speaks
into sun-pinked ears
a freckled song
that everyone hears –
a sigh (goodbye)
to parks and pools,
a shy hello
to shoes and schools.
Stella Castella
I particularly enjoy this time of year. The weather is especially nice where I live; there’s still a lot of sunshine to be savored. Saying goodbye to summertime pursuits is always a little bit sad (unless it involves watching dogs swim in the grand finale of the public pool season), but a new school year is a beautiful thing, too.
