August Days

Blackbirds circling a turquoise lake
Beneath white cloudy swirls 

Wonder should they stay or fly 
The nights are growing chilly
Though not quite frosty yet

When leaves of green give way
To myriad colors bright
It will then be time to go

 For now enjoy the August days
 Of warm, inviting summertime.
