Readers and booksellers are sharing seasonal verse to close out September, with one Edinburgh bookshop posting a short autumn poem about summer's last ember flowing 'into the Firth of Time'. The exchange is tied to National Poetry Day, which falls the next day, prompting people to swap their favourite poems and celebrate the changing of the seasons in verse.
Why now: National Poetry Day is tomorrow, prompting poetry sharing as summer turns to autumn.
