September <br />Is my month. <br />Virgo <br />By birth. <br />But I have never <br />Been to Mercury. <br />I am not <br />Thatt smart <br />And I really <br />Am not a <br />Perfectionist. <br /> <br />But I can be <br />Narrow minded <br />And overly critical <br />At times. <br />Topaz is my lucky stone <br />But I prefer <br />Sapphires. <br /> <br />But <br />I do love September. <br />Mainly because <br />Thats when <br />The rainy season starts. <br />The tropics come alive <br />And the heat <br />Subsides. <br /> <br />September means <br />Football. <br />And a delicious absence <br />Of hyperactive children. <br /> <br />A turn to cooler weather <br />The clouds seem <br />Fluffier. <br />The skies seem <br />Bluer. <br />The sun seems <br />Cooler. <br />But the Gulf <br />Remains warm. <br /> <br />September is perfect <br />Beach weather. <br />All the blue <br />Stinging jellyfish <br />Have exited stage right. <br />And the Atlantic is calm. <br />For a time <br /> <br />Usually <br />Great monster storms follow. <br />September is the month <br />For storms. <br />But storms never <br />Last. <br /> <br />I love September <br />Even though each year <br />It makes me <br />One year older. <br /> <br />5/27/14 <br />ALTON TEXAS<br /><br />Juan Olivarez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/september-51/
