SOMETHING TOLD....

"August was smoking hot,then Sept walked in cool as a cucumber, and made her presence felt.." -Charmaine J. Forde

One of favourites:  "SOMETHING TOLD THE WILD GEESE" 

                                                            by Rachel Field (1894-1942)

Something told the wild geese it was time to go........

Though the fields lay golden something whispered " Snow"

Leaves were green and stirring

Berries, luster-glossed

But beneath warm feathers something whispered "Frost"

All the sagging orchards

Steamed with amber spice

But each wild breast stiffened

At remembered ice

Something told the wild geese

It was time to fly

Summer sun

was on their wings

Winter

In their cry..........

"You are the doorway to the season that awakens my soul.." 

-Peggy Toney Horton

"For all I can do is stand here in September's rain, savouring, soaking it all in, simply holding on to poetry for dear life...."
