Blackness covered the day.
Trees shivered to shed their leaves.
Skin disappeared.
Fingers replaced by wool.
Skies cried in grief.
Summer ends
in a thunder clap.

It was a bit of a bummer for a summer.
Monkey Man you rule 160!
wow! this made me sad, here in GA we can make summer stretch and stretch into almost November! Winter is so hard for me! and it feels like it comes on just like you described it!
hmm. That feels like me.. on most days.
i am enjoying your writing a lot, MM!

TWM - We had a beautiful summer and I hate to see it go. Then again, fall in Oregon is gorgeous.
Angelina - It is easy to rule something when there is no other to compare to. Try it.
Boots - Welcome! We will actually be seeing better weather later this week in Portland, so summer is being stretched here at bit.
Silver - Thank you. I enjoy your writing as well. My writing is often influenced by what I see. I am very visual by nature.
Mine's posted on my blog today, but you have to go to the end of the post to see it. Yours was great!
NICE!
Nice one. Summer has ended here, it has turned cold at night.
We had 1 week above 80 degrees then it was like poop going down the terlet...going going rinsing and gone.
You 160 has a Haiku feel to it. Lovely. I'm ok with Summer's end. i'm not into hot. Boy, will I be in trouble when I die :()
wow! great picture & great verse!
Wonderful and meaningful post as usual Monkey Man. I love that picture.
:)
have a good anniversary you two MM and MW!
