September Seasons: a haibun

I remember from school days, growing up;  a weather verse with a line "September remember"

I read about and marvel of the autumn/September equinox: derived from the Latin aequinoctium, from aequus (equal) and nox (genitive noctis, plural noctium) (of the equal nights). On the day of an equinox, daytime and nighttime are of approximately equal duration all over the planet.

 September 23rd and its another season of Trini Christmas music. One hundred day of it, to be exact; hosted by our 'Sweet 100.1 FM' radio station. I am locked on.

Parang, soca parang, christmas calypsoes and laced in,  some of the international traditional ones. But, the emphasis is Trini songs and music.

  13. You also read it as two😊. But actually i wrote it as one. A haibun does not necessarily carry just one haiku

  15. Thank you for shar͏ing th͏is del͏ightful Ha͏ibun, which beaut͏ifully encapsulates the trans͏it͏ion from summer to autumn, draw͏ing attent͏ion to the s͏ign͏if͏icance of the equ͏inox. The ha͏iku (sorry I don't find both of them are perfect in terms of syllable count 😉) w͏ith͏in adds a refresh͏ing touch, connect͏ing nature's rhythm w͏ith personal exper͏iences. The ment͏ion of Tr͏in͏i Chr͏istmas mus͏ic and the cultural ͏influence on the celebrat͏ion ͏is part͏icularly ͏intr͏igu͏ing. It pa͏ints a v͏iv͏id p͏icture of your connect͏ion to the season and your cultural roots, mak͏ing ͏it a capt͏ivat͏ing read. 👍👌😊
