Sept. contest

Time to start thinking about Sept. contest. All that's required is a poem about Sept. being a month of change. free verse or rhyme and try to keep it 7 stanzas or less. The contests seem to be losing interest on site with a low number of entries the last couple of months. If you wish contests to continue then the number of entries need to increase. 3-4 per month is not representative of the talent here........stan

Changes

The absence of summer here this year
Now we are in for Septembers change
Shall we draw a line and give it a name
We have a date line out there some place

OK there are equinoxes that tell us to prepare
But then we jump the gun and make up a time
September the first they say but I am confused
The equinox is the twenty third as usual so why??

Who in their right mind wants an early winter?
I guess you dudes in the States would hate the thought
Her we live outside of your fears, we is temperate
Thank you for your warm water from Mexico.

A cloak of warmth you send us though you shiver
Never could see the sense in sending us these things
There you are with snow and temperature dropping
We walk outside as you fear to wander so

Please forgive me the change is on its way
The Swallows and summer birds left today
Grey skies have wandered into view, I think of you.
Up to your bums in snow what a lovely way to go, lol.

Love you all Ian.

Winter down south means an entirely different thing than winter in Yankee land. Here we're lucky to get 3-4 snows and usually only one or two which hang around mode than two days. Up yonder it often snows around the 1st of October and stays...........and stays .......until at least March. But we make up for it with stifling heat which often starts in April and lasts through Sept.

Like your poem and appreciate your entry. Need to put it on stream with (Sept. contest) next to title........stan
