A Poem for September


This erstwhile seventh month of the year

Now shunted into the autumn season,

(Depending of course on your hemisphere),

Is the ninth month for a worthy reason.

A time of crisp mornings and warm middays,

When nature is betwixt and between;

Farmers prepare to harvest maize

And leaves begin to turn from green.

This is the month of the equinox

When light and dark achieve parity

Some shops prepare their Christmas stocks

For an early show of  vulgarity.



M. Waller
