Summers gone - September writing prompt #1
Summers Gone
Summers been,
summers gone
blackberries full and fat now,
days not so long.
The swallows sit on cables,
Chatting before return
Children less in evidence,
returned to school to learn.
“Mists and mellow fruitfulness”
become the passing thoughts
as news picks up sincerity
and life becomes more fraught
Friends from sea side drift away
returned to busy lives
dreamy memories turn like leaves
While the Bees stay more in hives.
The beach now is quieter
with more space to swim
The surf is even better
Another autumn win 😀
