Last day of August and the garden rests

Before the autumn dulls the few sweet peas

And pansies that remain to help recall

Day after day of basking in the sun -

Lapped by the waves from early morn till dusk - 

Retiring to the terrace for a lunch

Free from the burning heat out on the sands.

Now distant bird calls or a burst of squirrels

Playing tag over the garden gate

Alone break up the silence of the hours

Begore an early sunset brings a close

To gentle days for cats who sit and doze.
