Helen Hunt Jackson- September Poem

The goldenrod is yellow,
The corn is turning brown,
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down;

The gentian’s bluest fringes
Are curling in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun;

The sedges flaunt their harvest
In every meadow nook,
And asters by the brookside
Make asters in the brook;

From dewy lanes at morning
The grapes’ sweet odors rise;
At noon the roads all flutter
With yellow butterflies–

By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer.

Forgive the interruption but what is DYK? I'd like to jump in this thread since it looks like so much fun but I don't know what it's about. Help?

dyk oh, do you guys remember my friend Jessia?

dyk she is married to one of Sean's oldest friends, two years ago sought refuge from him after he hit her (while pregnant with their 4th)?? but kept going back

dyk she left again, without the kids, then was back, then bounced a bit

dyk she has finally, finally, made it out of the situation!! With all 4 kids and they are doing SO WELL

dyk she has been living under protective custody of the state in a family group home (a shelter) for about 4 mos now and has been through the counseling, the financial programs, etc, and any day now her and the kids move into their own furnished rent paid apt thru the program she qualified for

dyk it's VERY exciting -- she did counsling twice a week and became catholic in the last year and REALLY worked her butt off to set up a support network

dyk I am so proud of her and relieved for her and happy for her

dyk I do not wish marriages to end, but he was abusing her and it had become dangerous and she extracated herself on her own -- very empowering given her past and she broke so many generational curses and is setting things up very nicely for her kids

dyk when I saw them when we were doing dino park, etc, she looked GREAT and the kids were happy and excited and ate well, played well, it was wonderful

dyk good for your friend
