Adieu to October 2018 By Polly Guerin
October'a crisp breeze announced fall
Life began anew with no time to stall
The frost was surely on the pumpkin
Those frigid days were really somethin'
October gave a splendid scenic party
Leaves by hundreds soon departing
Wine, red and golden bronze on the vine
The spectacular autumn show was divine
Leaves carpeting the woodland's open door
Led to fun adventures in the great outdoors
Apple picking in the orchard on a farm
Made apple cider libations mild and calm
Fireside chats wearing warm chunky sweaters
Hot chocolate, cozy socks what could be better?
The hardy sparrows took a backward glance
Stayed on and on through the chilly dance
All Hallows Eve was a magical velvet night
Scary costumes made us flinch with fright
But it was fun all through the party light
When make believe brought wonder flight
Then a whipping wind furled October away
Quite frankly, I'm rather sad she did not stay
But left abruptly, didn't linger, I wonder why
I can't hold onto October, no matter how I try.

The World is Full of Weeping By Polly Guerin
The World is full of weeping
Yet the people, still are sleeping
Fire swept winds claim the earth
While tsunamis plunder give birth
For untold end for many souls
Yes, the warnings were foretold
Ancient trees cut down sacrificed
To developer homes, oh, so nice
Mud slides crashed down the hill
Homes vanished it was very still
Months limped by with torrential rain
The weather will never ever be the same
Plant and animal ranges now shifted
Ice caps melting on a global scale
Intense heat waves more now predicted
The parched earth groans none restricted
Own up to climate change and remember
We're all in this now, bind each member
Put knowledge to work and make change
To respect the earth, time to rearrange
There's no time better, activate now
To save the planet and then avow
For the chance grows shorter each day
Do it now, before we are all blown away!
