September

September means it's meteorological autumn.
September has many observations,
astronomical
astrological 
calendars old and new
events and occurrences.
September means I'll have completed one more trip round the sun.
September brings back memories of summer holidays ending all too soon
having to return to school
with new uniforms
oversized blazers and undersized haircuts.
uncomfortable new shoes and the latest regulation school bag.
September means wonderfully coloured leaves tumbling from trees and painting the ground
shorter days and even darker evenings
wind and rain
and getting your winter coat out from the back of the wardrobe. 
September is the month of Virgos - if you believe 
or preparing your inner-self for the dark months ahead,
or, 
well whatever your religion dictates.

For me, 
September comes and once again I have to fight the urge to write another poem about 
Autumn
...but then I write one anyway!
