A chorus whispers of voyage and sojourn.

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.

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 realm 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.

August is the gentle pause between summer’s laughter and autumn’s whisper.
