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.

I've always loved limericks...just can't write them. This one is perfect for the switch from summer to fall! ;-)

Thanks, Red. Limericks are actually fun to write. :)

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Doc! Yes, everything has a poem in it...

Lovely, as always. I can't start writing my Autumn poetry yet, because we're still hitting hundred's every day.

[Rita L. Sev]

Hundreds, ugh! We are staying in the eighties, but with school starting next week, I am in "fall mode" regardless. Thank you, Marie!

This rhyming limerick expresses the transition from August to September in a unique way. It inspired me to write a version of its theme as a tiny gift poem for you to keep as your own.

Summer’s final dying ember,
August, fades into September.

i am waiting for October...my favorite month of the year...

but will september be a month to remember...i hardly look back on august with disgust...

but like a new june, there will be something happening soon...and i won't cry over how far removed we are now from july.

When you celebrate October, be sure to remain sober...
Your rhyming Muse is getting a workout! :) I love the fall months, and I always look forward to September - the real "new year" for teachers.

[Rita L. Sev]
