SEPTEMBER – The season is changing – summer is over and it’s back to school time! New start, new class, new beginning. And what better way to start than with a poem with the title SEPTEMBER!

SEPTEMBER

Summer is over,

clouds sweep the sky.

Swallows are leaving.

We whisper, goodbye.

__

It’s the time of the season

for harvesting hay.

Gathering apples.

Less light in the day.

__

But the biggest event,

as a general rule,

is the sound of the children

returning to school.

__

Meet at the school gates,

with new bags, new shoes.

Lots to catch up on,

much chatter and news.

__

New classroom, new teacher,

in different spaces,

but facing it all with

same friends, same faces.

__

For some it’s the first time

ever at school.

Let’s welcome them all,

BE KIND, it’s the rule!

LET’S MAKE A NOISE

Let’s whisper like a secret

Let’s cackle like a magpie

Let’s gabble like a gossip

Let’s waffle like a bore

Let’s rabbit like a monkey

Let’s babble like a brook

Let’s splutter like a dying flame

Let’s rumble like a roar

FEELINGS

Happiness went for a walk today.

Bumped into Grumble and rolled it away.

Called out to Anger – have a nice day!

Put its arms around Anxious – it will be okay.

Reached out to Sadness and lifted the grey.

Straightened the words of Confusion’s dismay.

Took Disappointment off to play.

Gathered up Doubt in a sunny display.

Teamed up with Love , and paved the way.
