September

a limerick

One of the calendar’s members

Said, “Hey, it’s my turn now, remember?”

Of course, she was right

So August took flight

And now we must welcome September

Author's Note

Yep.

School daze be here...

Very nicely penned Rita. September is a fine month and the gateway to fall.

[Rita L. Sev]

Yay! Very excited for September - cooler weather and new beginnings... Thanks, Jack.

I lurve September! Ha. It's my Dad's birthday and I'm super excited about his birthday present. LOL. Random fact. Awesome piece!

[Rita L. Sev]

:) Thanks, Noodle - and a happy birthday to your dad! :)

My weakness are for concise gems like this one. Great reference with "remember". This can sit alongside Robert Frost's October and Thomas Hood's November.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you for that - quite an honor it is!

[Samuel Dickens]

And what a month it is! I think 90% of the women I've ever known were born in September. (All those cold late December and early January nights?) As always, your words are a pleasure, Rita.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Sam! I don't really know too many September-born people, now that you mention it... strange... :)

[Lydia Shutter]

And the months go so quickly....faster with each passing year it seems. Good personification in this one. I liked it. Lydi**

[Rita L. Sev]

Yes, so quickly, we must love each one while we can... Thanks, Lydi!

[quinfinn]

nice segue.....and some clever personification

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks, Quin. New beginnings deserve a poem :)

[Frieda P]

Perfect way to welcome in the Fall season Rita....back to school is always a good reminder of this month....enjoy your new class of kiddos!

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks, Frieda - Can't wait!

[Frieda P]

I know, you said you enjoy those crazy kids ;-)

[Rita L. Sev]

Yep - they keep me going! :)

[Frieda P]

I still like the little guys better, you must have a higher pain tolerance Lol ;-)

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

I welcome it cause fall is my favorite season.

[Rita L. Sev]

Mine too. :)

I'm always sad to see August depart and September come in to visit! Oh, why does summer ever have to end?
This is such a sweet poem...it even makes up for September's rude arrival. Well, almost...

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! I like September - August is too hot around here, and I'm anxious to get back to school. September means no harm... ;)

[Joyce S. Greene]

What a cute write, Rita. The rhythm and rhyme are perfect, and your humorous side shines brightly in each line. (I'm not welcoming September with any enthusiasm, though - to me winter is an evil force waiting in the wings. ) But I enjoyed your poem very much.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Joyce! Winter can be tough, but it brings holidays and pretty snow! ;)

[Joyce S. Greene]

Snow is only pretty when it's new, Rita. Once it's smudged with car fumes it's pretty dirty stuff. But you're right, after a new snowfall it can be spectacularly beautiful. :)
