Green To Gold... [September Contest]

I feel it in my bones
I see it through my eyes
The change from summer tones
It's not a big surprise

The squirrel's tail is getting thicker
Leaves are changing color
The days go by much quicker
One blurs into another

Soon, cool nights will be upon us
The days begin with frost
We can depend upon this
Soon summer will be lost

But change is good, I'm sure
From summer green and bland
There is no better cure
Than September's hand

I enjoyed the rhyme and how I could animate this in my spoken voice so flawlessly

that you enjoyed this one! I'm especially pleased, that you could speak this so well aloud. I try hard to make it so that when a poem I write is spoken aloud, it rolls right along. Thank you, ~ Gee

Very good use of near rhyme (something I'm not good at). Thanks for your entry.........stan

good at it either! It takes practice and trying to fit the basic sounds together. I love the English language, because of all the different words that you can fit together. Thanks for your read and comment. ~ Gee
