August

August

 

 

It was August
and summer

was thick in the air,

like the concentrated efforts
of a trapeze artist.

Wonderful analogy! I can actually feel the heat. Love brevity!

[Dave]

Oh yes! The perfect balance, but as it progresses the nearness of August is upon us. Here it is October and I'm already raking the leaves off my lawn.

Take care - Dave

[Kelly Scheppers]

You're raking leaves and I'm walking around taking photographs of them. I love their coloring, just as much as I remember jumping in a pile of them. Thank you, Dave.

[Dave]

I love the colors too. BUT we always get piles of them. We have NO leaf bearing trees on our property, so all the leaves we ewer are from other folks. See the poem I wrote, last year - LEAF ME ALONE

Take care - Dave

[Dave]

I was wrong - the poem was LEAFING ME

[Kelly Scheppers]

I posted a review last year, Dave!

[Dave]

Sorry! Guess I'm a bit behind.
Good to hear fro you though. Take care - Dave

[CD Campbell]

That's a great metaphor of August bout to tip over, holding onto summer. September is about to get up there and start banging on that wire. Good one, kelly!

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Corey. Good to see you!

[CD Campbell]

You too, kelly!

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

Same experience this year here in Virginia. The heat and humidity have been terrible. I love this image of the dandepuff. It offsets perfectly the images created in word. Well done!

[Kelly Scheppers]

So wonderful to have your presence here, Linda. I used to live on the east coast, and I know exactly what you're talking about. Thank you so much for the smile you've brought me today!

[barleygirl]

This is a brilliant, well-stated metaphor that makes a million ideas pop in the readers' minds (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Kelly Scheppers]

Our September is being pretty thick in the air, as I speak. It's unusual for us to have the humidity we're having. Hope all is good in your neck of the woods, Margie!

[barleygirl]

"Thick in the air" is a great phrase!

[Kesch (Finding Julia)]

Oh WOW! This is so good, I enjoyed this. amazing.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you for the kindness of your review!

[Relic]

POW! How did I miss this? Each time I see a new one from you I know it's going to be good.

~ Excellent my friend. ~

[Kelly Scheppers]

I have missed you dearly, and sorely and deeply...and whatever other way there is! Thank you for your presence here, my friend! x

[David Klay]

Snap-shot visuals..that is what your poetry causes. Single images written in a way that provokes the senses to feel the images. Nicely done, Kelly. :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

It's a pleasure just having you here. Thank you, David!

[Fran Marie]

The air is thick indeed...never cared much for August ..too humid..but your poem makes it sound a lot. nicer in such a lovely way...

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you most kindly, Fran. I am thrilled you enjoyed it. Stay cool...autumn is just around the corner!

[Fran Marie]

I had my first kiss on a beach in August-long time ago now but sometimes I still dream about it. So its a special month for me Kelly. So glad I dropped by and found this. Wonderful words (as usual) -Will

[Kelly Scheppers]

You and I go back many years, Will, and its always a pleasure having you here. Thank you so much!
