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.

    August is leaving and September seldom brings rain

      Usually. I wonder how September will bless us this year. I crown her queen already for bringing us closer to the months I love. Bless you, Sadje. See you in September 🤗

    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.

Thanks for stopping. Comments mean the world to me. Won't you please leave one?
