August
 
  When my eyes are weeds,
And my lips are petals, spinning
Down the wind that has beginning
Where the crumpled beeches start
In a fringe of salty reeds;
When my arms are elder-bushes,
And the rangy lilac pushes
Upward, upward through my heart;

Summer, do your worst!
Light your tinsel moon, and call on
Your performing stars to fall on
Headlong through your paper sky;
Nevermore shall I be cursed
By a flushed and amorous slattern,
With her dusty laces' pattern
Trailing, as she straggles by.

Dorothy Parker

Fabulous, Lady, just fabulous! Trust you are rested this day.

I think August is a great month, it’s moon when it is not covered by clouds is enticing, the gradual dieing down and turning brown of the fern - quietly preparing for Fall.
Ah, her magic songs and abundant crops and we humans hustle and bustle around her skirts while she smiles her autumanal smile.
