September clouds shyly smile, descend
as season shifts from green to gold
bathing anguished land in hope,
it begins with whisper
eliciting dreams
from rustling leaves
I can hear
the wind
sing.

This brought such a smile to my face. Echoed exactly my sentiment on this early fall day. I love how you incorporated the music, from “whisper
eliciting dreams
from rustling leaves” to hearing the wind sing.

Lovely, how the change of season and mood is captured in this verse. I like the s-sounds and that alliteration in the beginning; it makes it sonorous like the wind song.

I love your time for shifting from green to gold, Sanaa. We don’t get that here in Houston. Makes me miss the Midwest, New England, and London.

You have captured the seasonal change with an insightful pen. Lovely capture. I am trying to hang on to summer as long as I can. Autumn has beauty, but it is a short season, as once the leaves fall there is a long bareness.

Autumn seems to be on our minds! Although still hot here, I can dream.
