August/September
August and September are two months that are contrasting in many ways and have many connotations for different people at different stages of life. Write about these two months, poem or prose, and your experience with them, and how they affected your life.
Years apart
Do you remember that September?
Of course I do
Do you remember that August?
You know it too
Going out to bars, warm and sweaty, the summer air sticky and electric with energy
Dancing in the grass, chasing after stars and friends who've taken too many drinks
Celebrating our results day, the long summer, the long year stretching out in front of me
The prospect of never going back to school, not never, not ever
And September, it rolls round again. A whole year since I've seen you, my dear
Back to study, back to work, a new world of students and societies and socials opening up around me
Where will I be this time next year, next summer, next August?
Its hard to see
But I'll still be here
And that's good enough for me
