Sweet September

Sweet September
Fall is the best time
In the Berkshires
Particularly after
The summer that
Never really was
Heat blast in June
July the monsoons
The arts at half mast
We took a pass
When possible
Met with friends
Dinners at our club
Utterly divine
Keeping up
With the Jonses
Sweet corn
Cukes and tomatoes
Until the frost
Busy all week
Ambitious projects
Then Sunday drives
When not raining
Annual trek
Up scenic Mohawk Trail
Past Hairpin Turn
Blaze of color
To pumpkin farm
Annual ritual
Making the best
Before another
Bleak winter
Dark by five
Fun through
The Holidays
Then gloom sets in
Between now and then
Making the best
Of last rose of summer
