September Sighs

Sighs of September in a heart inside out.

September Sighs.

September sighs of warm soft winds still tame, still calm wandering through oak tree canopy calliopes.

 Thimbles of Sprinkles have begun falling through green lace leaves not yet crimson.

 Tree bouquets barely traced by autumn fingers soon to hold touches of sunrise to sunset memories.

 Crescents of wind enter my space. Swirling leaves whirligig across the ground in surging surprise.

 Bright spotted towhee bids an early adieu to mocking Jay whom scolds and cries his own goodbye.

 No more standing in fields of cane berries plucking fragrant fruit

But Happy Reminiscences of sunshine Harvests now complete.

        Arrested attention, single dry scrub leaf falls to the ground in slow motion.

While distant tangerine leafed maple tree flickers her solo vibrancy throughout 

surrounding emerald woods. My eyes receive the message.

Quick as a heartbeat, Good Bye dear little caramel striped pine chipmunk.

I already miss your rare and precocious visits.

Coming cooler days will soon house tiny creature’s hibernation within this outdoor habitation.

Every inhale of contentment held within is followed by every exhale of what will be within God’s Blessed All Knowing..

For we await beauteous Change of season within coming autumn’s ballet.

What do you feel with the coming of September? Memories, etc. How does it show itself where you live?

Well, Kathy 🍂

It is for certain you've woken my sleeping heart and soul with this gorgeously blessed composition of colorfully dancing imagery, blended with imaginative metaphor and syntactical flow, the likes few possess inner-passion and wherewithal enough to gift such vibrant breath a'flow across the page ⁓ to lift and fill our amazed eyes and imaginations with such a vibrant portrait to Autumn's enchanting glory.

A perfect title and photo grace us, too, by virtue of your immaculate tastes in the nuances of irresistibly spellbound ambiance; then, spotted here and there, subtle rhymes tease and please the most discerning reader's palate:
"September sighs of warm soft winds still tame, still calm,
wandering through oak tree canopy calliopes.
Thimbles of Sprinkles have begun falling through green lace leaves,
not yet crimson."

And, there's more magic within EVERY line … whose poetic voice speaks like this? No one I know of, but You … I became increasingly enamored while perusing every word and line, Kathy … stellar!💫
Thank you ever-so warmly and gratefully for sharing You with Us … hugs! ⁓ Richard 🍁


I so taken with this one, I'm going to message a few ideas your way, and if you detest them, just kick me to the curb.🤨

Richard you are a great help. Everyone needs some positive and sunny light shone on them. Thankyou for being like that. I hardly think I am anything special but still to find commonality or appreciation surly goes miles with me. Again you are a blessing to many and of course me. Hardly know what to say but hope you find good and grace in your life.

lovely images of fall,some birds move on to warmer weather where more come to bask in the winter snow

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Ron,
Birds do really live a life of continual change moving from place to place. Your pointing to the idea of birds basking in winter snow. That is so cool. If they are built for it, yea I believe it. Love hearing from you.

"Canopy Calliopes"
love that...and love the way you have the two words under the long lines...
like a couple leaves falling as autumn comes early.
we have that nip in the air this morning...started yesterday...autumn is rearing its head now...
this is how we know...
and just a slight turning of the trees...ever so slight.

beautiful write.

Jacob erin-cilberto,
I wonder is the smoke and fires and resulting fire storm winds has thrown a resulting change into the Sigh of September? Just a little change in the air, the natural flora-fauna. I am so thankful that the beautiful skies full of clouds are visible. Yet I also see this year progressing into a strange and dramatic one for we here in the west and globally as well. I sure do like hearing from you. I wish you bits of wonder and joy all coalesced through your life.
Blessings,
Kathy
