The Last Gasp of Summer

Wow! It's still warm as August ends
«La Rentrée» beckons; drinks with friends
All buzzing with new tales to tell
September catch-ups augur well!

Floods of snaps on Instagram
Exotic locations in the can
From near and far and the unknown
Is no one missing Home Sweet Home?

I like the respite summer brings;
Contrast to BSF* that zings
With concerts, fireworks, walks with guide(!)
And exhibitions – held outside.

Dear chaotic Brussels is compact
With intermittent cycle track
But with many quaint streets to explore
This guide is happy to learn more!
