The wind sends cloudy veils across the full Moon’s shining face
And bounces noisy leaves high in the trees
As stars wink in and out as though they’re unsure of their place
The temperature falls by five degrees
A magpie shows his anger as his roost swings to and fro
The raucous caw cuts cleanly through the air
While all along the garage passion flowers make a show
Such gaudy blooms give night a certain flair
September’s brought a flurry of Autumnal weather moods
Each day has been unlike the day before
Occluded fronts on weather maps chart atmospheric feuds
And mean we never know what is in store
And I’ve just watched the cricket, needed six to win the game
But we still won the Ashes so there’s not one hint of shame!
