AUGUST
Auburn sky mostly : Also August waits for Autumn to welcome.
Unpredictable rains off and on to go away and come.
Glossy green grass grow in mass , gorgeous.
Umber Earth under heavy showers.
Soil soaked , became soft, suited for sowing seeds to sprout.
Trees and plants in tropical zone turning tough, stout.
When it’s dark and gloomy in the middle of the day,
I am inclined to go back to bed and sleep it away
But then when I awaken it’s already dark outside,
I should live in the Land of the Midnight Sun, I sigh.
Obviously, I much prefer bright, sunshiny days
Where I can hike in the woods or relax in my chaise,
Clearly, I’d be most happy living in a tropical zone
Better still, on a forty-foot yacht I can call my own.
