Oh, October!
You put on a show
dancing over the mountaintops
dressed in bright garments
of orange, lemon, and cranberry grape.
Oh, October!
You are a sassy month,
stopping carloads of folks
flocking to view the fall foliage;
you twist, turn, and somersault
with rain showers of leaves.
Oh, October!
You are a naughty child!
On Halloween you deck
out in spooky costumes,
and trick-or-treat
throughout the eerie night;
the barn owl resounding,
Hoot! Hoot! Hoot!

Happy fall, Brenda! Beautiful poem and photo.
Looks like you are seeing some lovely, colourful sights.
I love this poem, Brenda, and your fall looks gorgeous!
Brenda Kay, you delight me with words that only you can make possible. I see it for the first time as you've described the picture in "The Orange Lady". I feel as if my eyes have been opened!

I really like your descriptive poetry! There isn't a lot of fall color here yet. Maybe it will come after the cooler weather predicted for this week.
Lovely words and such a lovely view! Wishing you the best of lovely Autumn!
Beautiful poem, Brenda Kay!! Looks like fall might really be on its way! (Finally!)
