A Month Of Laughter
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
August arrives with joyful cheer,
A month of laughter drawing near.
The sun shines bright, the sky so blue,
Adventure awaits, as dreams come true.
Flowers bloom in radiant hues,
August, a time to chase what's new.
With hearts alight, we'll savor each day,
Oh, August, our excitement will never sway.
The Sun Ignites Our Souls
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
August arrives with boundless energy,
The shining sun ignites our souls, so free!
Embrace the warmth, let worries depart,
Adventure awaits, with an eager heart.
Dream big, chase goals, let inspiration ignite,
In this fiery month, we will take flight.
With vibrant colors and possibilities abloom,
August whispers, "Unleash your truest bloom!"
Time Flies Fast
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
In August’s days, when sunbeams gently sway,
A chorus whispers of voyage and sojourn.
With fervor, we yearn for a restful stay,
To cast away cares and worries long worn.
Yet hidden in the smiles that laughter brings,
A plea to seize this respite, brief release.
For time flies faster than a hummingbird's wings,
And moments carved in joy offer true peace.
Famous Birthdays
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
In August's warmth, famous lives began,
Fame's cradle bore icons with many a plan.
From Obama's wisdom, hope clasped in hand,
To Madonna's allure, a presence so grand.
Steve Carell, whose humour paints life with delight,
August births held sparks that shone day and night.
Their voices echo through history's expanse,
August's legacy continues to enhance.
Seek Abundant Grace
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
In August's time, when golden rays descend,
The season's warmth upon creation spreads,
We turn our hearts to One who guides our way,
With steadfast faith, we humbly kneel and pray.
Oh sovereign God, our Shepherd ever near,
Your boundless love dispels our every fear.
In this month, may righteousness embrace,
As we seek your abundant grace.
Summer Months
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
In the lengthening days of yore,
July and August danced with grace.
But now, too swiftly they pass by,
Leaving so little of their embrace.
Sunlit hours, like fleeting dreams,
Fade before our searching eyes.
O fleeting months! Too short to sip
The sweetness of summer's vibrant skies.
Flip-Flops And Rest!
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
In August's fiery reign, the sun shines bright,
As sweat trickles down with all its might,
The beaches are packed, with tans to adore,
But sunscreen fails and leaves us sore.
Ice cream trucks roam, a melodic chime,
Sticky fingers dine in summer's prime,
August's charm may be cruel at best,
But hey, at least we can wear flip-flops and rest!
The Eighth Month
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
August, the eighth month on this earthly plane,
When summer lingers in July's fading glow.
Days draw long, stretching dreams beyond hearts' rein,
In this season of sun-kissed solace, we know.
But as the ripened harvest fills our sight,
A seriousness creeps into summer's air.
For time slips away with each passing night,
And autumn's promise whispers a subtle dare.
Fleeting Days
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
In August's bloom, we savor fleeting days,
As golden sunsets paint the vibrant skies.
September whispers through the twilight haze,
And shorter shadows softly start to rise.
The night air cools, a subtle shift appears,
Reminding us that change is ever near.
In seriousness, we cherish summer's end,
Embracing beauty as each season wends.
Back To School
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
August arrives, with summer's end in sight,
As backpacks fill, pencils gleam so bright.
The halls awaken with an eager hum,
From carefree days to academic thrum.
For students brave, the journey shall commence,
A sharpened mind seeks knowledge's expanse.
Back to school, where dreams and hopes take flight,
August marks beginnings, with hearts alight.
