Fifty Shades of September

The ninth month of the Gregorian calendar strides onto stage with the autumn equinox and the first glimpses of a new season. Nature may adorn the coming days with a blaze of Indian summer, or the early showers and storms of autumn may begin their symphony.

Regardless of Nature’s elemental whims the landscape is a riot of colours, hues and swathes, the harvest of crops continues, the orchards heave with bounty.

Across fifty poems our classic poets including Percy Bysshe Shelley, William Wordsworth, Emily Dickinson, W B Yeats and Dante Gabriel Rossetti ready their pens with words and verse of sublime beauty detailing the world around them and their lives upon it.
