Oh, October!
You put on a show
tapdancing over the hills
dressed in bright garments:
orange, lemon, and cranberry.
Oh, October!
You are a sassy month
stopping carloads of folks
who flock to view the fall foliage
and you somersault on the wind.
Oh, October!
You are a naughty child.
On Halloween you deck
out in spooky costumes,
trick-or-treat
through out the night!
--Brenda Kay Ledford

Beauty all around us.
Such a nice, descriptive poem. Your photos surely have captured the beauty of fall.
Beautiful poetry, and I love your photos! We do not get that kind of color here, but I do love seeing it.
Wonderful that this was published.......I just love it. I had to chuckle when you called October "sassy".
Congratulations on it being published!!
