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.
