September – what a burst of heat!
Sweaty joggers in my street
ADEPS* offers free fun walk!
Neighbours, sun-tanned, stop and talk.
The summer lull - lost in the past
Commitments pile up thick and fast;
Though early mists soon dissipate
Roadworks slow down dear tram 8.
A glut of berries fills fruit stalls
Now and then a tired leaf falls …
Politics - still in debate
The jury’s out - who’ll lead the State?
The year moves into middle age
With “mellow fruitfulness**” displayed
A new term for all schoolkids starts;
September - glowing - warms our hearts!
