The Sunburnt September Skies

A gentle pink mist A low blue haze Purple horizons A light refreshing breeze... The red heat subsides The tall trees sigh Beneath the sunburnt september skies. The pastures relax The flowers close up to sleep The last songs of the day Are sung by avian creatures Like a soothing lullaby As the sun waves bye bye Low in the sunburnt september skies. The land enjoys its slumber As do lives of unknown number, A tranquility only Earth knows... This month every night So far, the stars twinkle with delight. Cooled are the sunburnt september skies.

"The tall trees sigh Beneath the sunburnt september skies." Lovely imagery throughout. Yes, September is special -- if not cooling yet, hope on the horizon here in Phoenix. Blessings.

Thanks Joanna. Thought I'd stray from my comfortable form for a change :-D we've a heatwave in the UK and the colours in the sunsets are lovely. Almost like calming pastel after the intense heat of the day. Thanks for your encouraging comment. :-D X all the best.
