September's Stars

by adewpearl



When stardust fell upon the earth,
as scattered there by Virgo's hand,
the star-shaped aster had its birth,
and since has beautified our land.

While hyacinth and daffodil
our springtime meadows overspill,
in fields of fall the asters bloom
to fill the air with sweet perfume.





Recognized


the rispetto is a poem composed of two quatrains. The rhyme scheme of the first is ABAB while the rhyme scheme of the second changes pattern to CCDD.

The aster is the birth flower of September, and Virgo is the astrological sign for most of September. One of many legends about the origin of the aster is that it first bloomed when Virgo scattered stardust onto the earth.
Asters bloom from late August through October.
