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.
