Sayonara August—It Was Hard To Love You

Provoked

No rain, dry rocks and dry throats
The jellies the warm seas encroach
This year I withhold my vote
What a bind when you’re this provoked

Complainer

Month of August I seldom feel cheerful
Humidity and heat make me tearful
Half-naked sun worshipers distress me
Cantankerous complainers depress me
I need clouds bursting with buckets of rain
To slay my disdain, make me smile again

“And then the sun took a step back, the leaves
lulled themselves to sleep and Autumn was awakened.”
~ Raquel Franco

August, I know you had a job to do. You did well. Sayonara.

(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡

We finally got a nice rainstorm on the last day of August. What a relief! But I’ll tell you, I don’t know where this year has gone. It has slipped by as fast as a greased pig at the county fair (LOL). In fact, I’m looking forward to the county fair next week.
