SEPTEMBER POEMS

From “Ring Out Wild Bells, Poems about Holidays and Seasons”

“Now” by Prince Redcloud

Close the barbecue.

Close the sun.

Close the home-run games we won.

​

Close the picnic.

Close the pool.

​

Close the summer.

​

Open school.

“Taste of Purple” by Leland B. Jones

Grapes hang purple

In their bunches,

Ready for

September lunches.

Gather them, no

minutes wasting.

Purple is

Delicious tasting.
