August Poems 

You don’t need to be a poet to feel a line land. Sometimes August writes it for you — in a breeze, a goodbye, a glance. These poems were born in that space. Half thought, half truth. For anyone trying to say what August feels like, without needing to explain every word.

August by Dorothy Parker
When my eyes are weeds,
And my lips are petals, spinning
Down the wind that has begun to whine.

August by Hilaire Belloc
The moonlight is a messenger, and brings
A letter that is writ in starry words
For me and for my love to read, and smile.

August by Helen Hunt Jackson
The golden-rod is yellow;
The corn is turning brown;
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.

A Calendar of Sonnets: August by Helen Hunt Jackson
All the long August afternoon,
The plain was full of sun and wind and apace;
I knew of clouds far off behind the moon,
Yet never saw them rise to stay the race.

August by Algernon Charles Swinburne
There were four apples on the bough,
Half gold half red, that one might know
The blood was ripe inside the core:
The colour of the leaves was more
