A Poem for September

I love autumn.

I love the way the light turns gold in the evenings. I love red maple leaves and that mysterious, sweet, smoky smell that comes from living in the country.

This year, I feel particularly blessed. Our 90s farmhouse sits at the top of a bluff, giving me a front-row seat to the beauty of harvest. From the rusty soybean fields to the sea of rustling corn, it is definitely feeling like fall in the Midwest.

As a writer and reader, I have found myself to be most inspired as the seasons start to change. If you’re the same, I think you’ll enjoy these classic poems that celebrate the season:
