AUGUST'S CROWN
Whilst August yet wears her golden crown
ripening fields lush bright with promise
Summer waxes long, then wanes
quietly passing her fading green glory
on to riotous Autumn.

I really like your poem for August. I always wish summer (or spring, or fall, really) would last longer! Mine is up, I wrote my poem myself, this time!
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely Carolyn - both the picture and the quote :)
ReplyDeleteMy musing's turned to the apple harvest to come and I've discovered a new author and poem for this month.
Can a poem about apples be sexy? Have a look and tell me what you think...

Lovely picture. My GMDB contribution is now up at Victoria's Backyard
ReplyDeleteAugust is really like this. I sort of dread August just thinking of how it usually is such hot weather. It is the end of summer. I look forward to autumn with all its glory.
ReplyDeleteI have posted an August muse at Greenbow Gardens.
Happy August to you.
What perfect sentiments to describe August. I am looking forward to that "riotous Autumn".
ReplyDeleteMy post is here. Thank you for hosting!
The stylized sun plaque on your fence fits this poem perfectly!
ReplyDeleteI have a short post up today for Muse Day at prairierosesgarden.blogspot.com.
Hi, Carolyn. I just posted my Garden Bloggers' Muse Day poem. Loved your choice of poem for this time of year.

Thank you all and I will make my rounds to read your thoughtful musings. I encourage all visitors to do the same.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lisa about August, but your poem is a fitting tribute to the last month of summer. My post is up now: http://mcgregorsdaughter.blogspot.com/2008/08/august.html.
ReplyDeleteLove your poem, and also the sun plaque on the fence.
ReplyDeleteI have contributed a poem to the day.

What a lovely poem Carolyn. Thanks for sharing it, and for inspiring others to share their favorite selections.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry I am a little late. My August poem is for the last month of winter here in Australia.

Carolyn, thank you for this beautiful poem. I'll try to get my muse post up tomorrow.~~Dee
ReplyDeleteThanks again to all of you. I will be around to visit all of you
ReplyDeleteBoth photo and poem (a favorite) are lovely and fitting, Carolyn ... a most 'bittersweet' time of the year for gardeners. Do enjoy the remains of summer ;)
ReplyDeleteI like your poem. Here we are experiencing the very early signs of spring - dafodilles are coming out in my garden and if I'm lucky I manage to pick them before a possum eats them. They like fully grown flowers and the very young buds. I have pictures of the insides of our local possums died a lovely yellow colour. Em
ReplyDeleteI like your autumn poem. We are just coming from winter into spring here and the daffodils in my garden are beinning do come out. If I am lucky I manage to pick them before the local possums get them. They like the young buds as well as the full blown flowers. I have pictures of their insides died a lovely sunny yellow.
ReplyDeleteMy post is finally up, a day or four late, and a few dollars short.~~Dee
ReplyDeleteA day late and a dollar short is better than none, Dee : ) Thanks so much.
