September
by Beth Alexander Walsh
September is industrious.
It is harvests and stacks of
firewood.
It is work and school.
It is new notebooks and backpacks and boxes of crayons.
It is dodgeball and hopscotch and
jump rope.
It is Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts
and soccer.
It is reading and writing and
arithmetic.
It is afternoons in the library
and Scholastic book orders.
It is marching band and football
games.
It is shoes and socks and
sweaters.
It is deciding how long you can
last without turning the heat on.
It is apples and pumpkins and
stew simmering on the stove.
It is structure and purpose.
It is learning and reinvention.
Industrious is September.
