August Poems

Broad sun-stoned beaches.

White heat.
A green river.

Late August, given heavy rain and sun
For a full week, the blackberries would ripen.
At first, just one, a glossy purple clot
Among others, red, green, hard as a knot.

No one's serious at seventeen.
--On beautiful nights when beer and lemonade

For years we've had a little dog,
Last year we acquired a big dog;
He wasn't big when we got him,
He was littler than the dog we had.

When I were schooled english wernt my thing.
My scores in English lurning no bells done ring.
Yea I grajaded but ain't english smart ….no lie!
Come end a school year the teach said 'By Bri.'

I'm taking a walk to the cemetery this morning,

I have two friends who died not so long ago;
they were brothers, treated me the same.

in August when the sun was hot.

Under the shade of his big straw hat
...

Here is a wound that never will heal, I know,

But of a love turned ashes and the breath
Gone out of beauty; never again will grow

Trouble can come in all shapes and in all sizes. Including the recent lost of my older sister, Lynn Ellen Dubarry. She was born August 25,2020 and went home to be with the Lord on August 17,2020.

Dear Poet friends, readers and visitors of Poem Hunter Poem Site,

Need not to hurry
But it's most pleasing if you too can watch this

During those dog days of summer's dream-rest,
When crops robust in days, that are hottest.
I sought to find my love peacefully asleep,
Under the shady oak tree canopy.

Undulating paddocks to the cliffs of the sea
Green beauty is everywhere all around me
Bright yellow flowers cloaking every wattle tree
In Illowa in August such great beauty to see

Bye bye thirty one days of August 2018
You have been so awful a visitor on man
Snatching away lives of man and all that breath,
It's not spurious; you came you ate, you conquered
