ADIEU TO OCTOBER 2020: By Polly Guerin

 
















October's crisp breeze announced fall
Life began anew with no time to stall

The trees were dressed in Autumn splendor
Yellow saffron, ginger cream I remember

With the gentle chill and the crisp forlorn leaves
Then sweet golden kisses were all over the trees

The birds returned to take a backward glance
To marvel at nature's glory in striking balance

Leaves carpeting the woodland's open door
Led to fun adventures in the great outdoor

Apple picking in the orchard on a farm
Made apple cider libations mild and calm

Columbus Day brought poignant pause to reflect
To remember heroes who reside in forever rest

All Hallows Eve was a magical velvet night
Scary costumes made us flinch with fright

Then a whipping wind took October away
Quite frankly I am rather sad she did not stay

Alas we must turn back the clock, comes the blast
This sad that the sweet autumn days could not last

October left abruptly, didn't linger, I wonder why
I could not hold onto October, no matter how I try.
