Bonzer Words!: Scene Of September
Frank L Dawson writes of September - a reflective month, still glowing with late summer colours.

September – monocled, barbered, attired –
tweedy in various shades of brown
like an English squire,
saunters confidently out
from under the tutelage of August.
Outside, on the manor grounds,
dusty goldenrods nodding to starry-eyed purple asters,
march along borderline fences, and within,
September days settle themselves like a purring housecat
in a basket of soft wools
and knitting needles
on a table or convenient countertop.
September – the ninth month –
a reflective month -
still glows with late summer colors,
but has not yet brought forth autumn splendor –
Beauty seen and experienced is cherished
but still unparalleled the riotous displays of October
preparing for the beauty of winter snows.
