Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose ( Waiting For A Fall Season Breeze)‏

The summer had been hot and long-

Even as we picked out our favorite summer song.

.

It was time for a change, for sure-

But it was all up to Mother Nature.

.

For she would have to create fallen leaves-

She would have to give reason for us to wear

long sleeves.

.

She would also have to send us some cool air-

To coincide with the trees that would be bare.

.

To take a moment to seize-

To begin to look for sweaters, as we await a

fall season breeze.

.

The summer had been hot and long-

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 657 (That Changing Weather)

The weather was just right-

Not too cool, not too hot,

right on site.

.

Short sleeves and shorts-

Was the thing to sport.

.

And, then all of a sudden things

changed-

Somehow or another the weather

was re-arranged.

.

A cool front blew in and the wind

was of great size-

Wasn’t planning for this, it was a

surprise.

.

Luckily, I had that sweater in the car-

That I always keep close, not too far.

.

For it came in handy, on this sudden

cold cold day-

As soon as I felt the chill, I put it on

right away.

.

The weather was just right-

Not too cool, not too hot,

right on site.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 678 (Not That Long Ago It Was A Hot Summer)

The summer was long and hot-

We got used to it, even though we

got tired of it a lot.

.

The drought was upon us, and we

looked for rain-

But, not too much of it, did we gain.

.

The leaves off of the trees began to fall-

Even though near the season of fall, we

were nowhere at t’all.

.

And, so the fall finally did arrive-

In slow motion, not in full drive.

.

As Thanksgiving came-

Things began to change, things

were not the same.

.

The wind blew and howled through

the trees-

An icy wind, not just a cool breeze.

.

We had waited for this long enough-

That long hot summer had been tough.

.

Mother Nature finally decided to give us

a break-

We’re grateful plenty, the cooler weather

we will take.

.

With a warm day in between-

You know more of those will be felt

and seen.

A tourist rebirth-
Of a lava lake, that gushes bright
orange fountains of magma, like
a bleeding wound in the earth.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 815 (Mid Summer)

It is the middle of the summer-

And, the heat appears, to be the main drummer.

.

It beats at a high temperature-

A fan, a swim, or A/C, appears to be the cure.

.

We all know it, for we can of course-

Feel what it emits, in full force.

.

Even at night-

It sticks around, there is not much flight.

.

The sun does serve us well-

Even at times, when it appears to be

in over swell.

.

This too shall pass, as the season of

Fall will cool things down-

In the meantime, much hot heat can

be found.

.

And, the heat appears, to be the main drummer.
