“Ode to the Pumpkin Spice Latte”

by Mia Carella

September is here,
and now you are, too.

You warm our mouths and our bellies
with your spicy goodness.

You remind us of crisp sweater weather
and curling up under a blanket by the fire.

The joy you bring us is boundless,
and we anxiously await your arrival each Autumn.

But, alas, my beloved PSL, to you I say,
It’s still technically summer for 3 more weeks, so back off.
