My Summer's End Poem for 2024

Here's one more hay(na)ku. With an actual title this time.

Click here for the hay(na)ku poem I've been repostting at the end of summer for years.

 
Season's Reason

Summer's
dead, and
so are you.
 
Always
its plan
from day one.
 
Every
single month
kills, but June,
 
July,
August, take
away most bits.
 
Romanticized
body first,
then the mind
 
once
it hit
you are ugly.
 
Sun
has been
killing off seed
 
since
you first
began to want.
 
Just
watch rest
of Earth burn.
 
Enjoy
the fall
closer to ground.
 
warmer winter
is creeping in.
