I hear summer chime
inside cricket songs, but still
September scents air

unripe, crisp, stony
I taste chardonnay with each
drawn green apple breath

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

    Me likes Chardonnay – but please don’t wave welcome to Autumn yet!

      oh, no–not welcoming autumn–but feeling the premonition of it in the chill night air (and tasting it, too!)

      Love chardonnay for that very same green apple nose/note to it 🙂

    it does feel like it is coming.. the sounds are different. You have captured it beautifully in only a few words!

    Love the poem. Autumn is my favorite probably because summer down here in the south can be so oppressive and humid. The hint is in the air; lower humidity and breezes, wonderful! Thanks, again, Susan for reblogging my poem; the response has been wonderful. Leo

      Thank you, Leo 🙂

      Yes, it is mid-August, but I can smell a difference, and hear it, too (as well as just barely see my breath at night–but I am in the northeast, practically Canada).

    “Chardonnay” captures the scent and the flavor. Absolutely.
