SEPTEMBER
(c) 2010 by Andria W. Rosenbaum

The first day

is crammed with newness.

Graphic tees, dark jeans,

and flirty skirts, lingering

with the scent

of untested body sprays.

Virginal notebooks,

inviting the marks of

inky, black doodles

and scrawled notes.

Freshly painted halls lining

a linoleum highway,

radiating with the pungent scent

of industrial polish.

Nice! I especially like:

And the slim chance

for reinvention, lurking,

like a shadow

tempting to be

taken.

Happy birthday, Andi (Sept. 30)!

Thanks for noticing! At my age, any B-day is a GREAT day ;-)
