ADIEU TO OCTOBER 2019 By Polly Guerin


















Soft light, the calm repose of Autumn days
I smell Autumn dancing in October's phase

The trees were dressed in autumn splendor
Yellow saffron, ginger cream, chestnut hues

The Ashes, Oaks and Maples, an even many more
The leaves by hundreds did carpet the forest floor

With the
gentle chill, an the crisp sunburnt leaves
Then sweet golden kisses were all over the trees

The bird's came back to take a backward glance
To marvel at nature's glory in striking balance

Soothing life's weary to take comfort and rest
October began a magical month, the very best

A timeless time to press forward with the new
And treasure autumn memories and then renew  

Yet, I
still smell the sweet aroma of the pumpkin patch
And everyone,  a trick-or treater, opened up the latch

Columbus Day brought poignant pause to reflect
And remember those who reside in forlorn rest

Though some stormy weather dashed our dreams
The brilliant light returned in sun-kissed streams

Alas we must turn back the clock, brings the blast
Ti's sad that the sweet Autumn days could not last.
