Thursday, September 15, 2022 A Word about September

A word about September
A caution to remember

You’ll hear a lot of crickets
On sidewalks and in thickets,

You’ll harvest your potatoes
(Ditto with tomatoes)

You’ll cut and peel the apples
With peppers you will grapple

The nights are getting chilly
Cicadas are sounding shrilly.

There’s just no more pretending
That summer isn’t ending

I felt the need to tinker with that page – adding a little color. Mistakes were made. The paper is multi-media, which means that it isn’t quite as bad with watercolor as regular paper, but the paper still tends to get “wavy” with the water. But who cares? Moving on.

I predict that a dissembling breeze will whisk this blog post away in the morning.

  1. Hey, Lynnie!
    It’s looking good! The Emily Dickinson poem is one that isn’t familiar to me. I think I need to crack open my copy of “Complete Poems of…” that I purchased way back in my College days (a while ago, to be sure!)
    and reacquaint myself with Emily’s literary genius. But I honestly think that she would be impressed with YOUR poetry – keep ‘em coming!

    1. Fun fact about Emily’s poetry. Most her poems can be sung to the tune of the Gilligan’s Island theme song. I also have a complete book of her poems and have been working through it since 2018. I’m on track to finish by the end of this year! It’s a huge tome! Let’s compare ED books the next time we get together!
