August’s final countdown
School campuses alive
Summer’s vanishing breath
Autumn’s changes soon arrive
Dog days’ final heatwave
Students receiving books
Life’s transitioning steps
Autumn paints nature’s crisp look
Calendar page now turns
Summer’s final footsteps
Cooler weather ahead
Autumn’s leaf-colored doorsteps
Landscape’s pace quiets down
While football fans cheer on
Rustling of drying leaves
Autumn sketches, far from gone
Timeless journey transcends
Harvest complete, fields bare
Classrooms find their rhythm
Autumn’s presence everywhere

Wonderful descriptions and details, although down here we’d probably substitute ‘October’ for ‘September’!

Linda, thank you for reading and sharing back. Yes, I can imagine that October is much better month to be thinking of autumn colors. We endured a very dry August so our fall foliage may show up a bit earlier than normal.

Susan, thanks for sharing your favorite season. I’ve been restless in waiting for this season to come, and I figured that the early days of September are a proper time to write about my own favorite season. The autumn wreath is on our front door.
