Summer Poems, as Summer Moves into Fall

Labor Day, the first Monday in September, traditionally marks the end of the summer school holidays in the United States — and it’s early this year, the very first day of the month. But summer’s end doesn’t really arrive until the equinox on the 22nd, so we’ve added a few more poems to our Poems for Summer collection for your lingering late-summer pleasure...

We’re beginning a new seasonal anthology of Autumn Poems, to be posted on the equinox, and we invite you to submit your own poems or suggest your favorite classics in the next three weeks. (Please take note of one caution: the text box on our submission page doesn’t convey your format accurately when you type a poem into it — so we ask you to use slashes (“/”) to indicate line breaks and double slashes (“//”) to indicate stanzas.)
