September Day This September day catches my surface in cool breezes and sheltered sun. Sheltered sun of sky alive with full bearded white dove’s whispering feathers blooming explosions of cotton. I have caught fall looking in my open door checking my vision with leaves that fill the air. I would dance down the street bare my melting surface reshape my need and feel the opening but fall fills me with the sigh of a mother whose child has again forgotten to sweater her silk fragile youth to protect it from approaching time so it cools the heat of my expansion now shrinks this summer shimmering drinks the froth from laughter and settles this need to fly.

~Martie~ Well written with wise words in the last two stanzas! September is a magical month because it is the best of two worlds: experiencing both Summer and Fall. I love this piece because I love the beginning of Fall - the feeling in the air and the crisp smell to it. Being a September "baby" I love how you pay tribute to my birth month  Take care, Melissa Honeybee< !signature--> The beauty of poetry gives me wings to fly [This message has been edited by Melissa Honeybee (edited 09-01-2000).] |

This is typical of the beauty and depth of your work, but also brings out the child in you and the mature and compasionate adult, and you, and as usual draws the reader's sentiments right into the poem. I do, in truth believe that your work is among the best I've read. Liz |

Exceptional Martie! The imagery you bring to these words is simply stunning. I always enjoy reading your poems at least twice before responding ... the flow is always so sweet! Beautiful work! Best wishes, /Kit |

Martie~ As September sighs into my dawning I'm caught in refreshing adorn The coming of the leaves turning Pirouetting on nature's autumn morn Thanks for the inspiration in the beauty of you and your thoughts. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
