Labour Day
A haiku
Sep 3, 2024
Sun still shines brightly
But the wind now has teeth that
Will gnaw bones ’til spring.
Today, Labour Day 2024 was another warm sunny day, just as it was last year. A day to take time for a walk along the beach. But again I noticed today, as I did a year ago, that the breeze has a nip to it. A message, whispered low for now, that summer is ending.
I’m good with that — fall is my favourite season. The cooling temperatures give me back my life, plus I get to indulge my obsession with soup!
Welcome, September.
