Poem One About September


She forgot what she wanted to say

There was too much 

like a tree in the

Fall

falling

Nothing at all

The confetti 

colors

falling 

Fall

It was not a 

September to remember

Just a sad song

They played it 

over and 

over again

In her head

falling

fitfully asleep

Alone

while lying 

next to you 

in bed




Sitting on the Porch 2


Sitting on the porch

she saw the Fall

leaves 

cascading

down

shafts of sunlight

the orange cats

nonchalantly

batted them away

she wasn’t sure

why

it made her 

wish

she remembered

it might

have been September

the last time they had

kissed

while the black crow

sat on the telephone pole

wondering 

if they ever had a

love song




September Slumber


The requiem for the summer

played softly throughout her slumber

Searching in the darkness

shocked by the sheer starkness

Trying hard to remember

what it was about September

that made her feel

like nothing was real

Watching dancers from the balcony

she caressed her melancholy

Trying to remember

Trying to remember

What it was about September
