nice poem about the end of summer like these lines the best
Babbling brook bubbles with secrets as wading children let minnows swim between their toes
Crickets serenade the evening as porch swing sweethearts share a late summer's kiss
All these and many more highlight the crown jewel of all seasons in these ~

Comment from pome lover
well, that is absolutely lovely, and reminiscent of days gone by, when there was no threat of the possibility of blood thirsty gangs invading your neighborhood. Oh, for those innocent, happy, long gone days. You described them beautifully and wistfully.

Comment from RFL
I do not give the "six" lightly. Therefore, realize that to me your poem is very special -- the construction easily flows, the topic is oh so relevant. You have captured a considered capsule of summer.
Best to you, RFL
