October

On the paths and lawns of the park, Crisp and brightly coloured leaves are falling. The surrounding trees look bare, Only a few leaves clinging to their branches. Before the leaves are swept up and burnt, Everyone shuffles through them, Rustling as they walk.

Well done Jack. I am amazed at all the different aspects poets have written about... the rustling of the leaves as you walk, never thought about that. Congrats on your win. Lee

I love seeing the leaves turn colors, but when the trees are bare, it makes me feel sad. Enjoyed your description of "rustling" leaves as people walk on them. Delightful acrostic, Jack. Congratulations on your win in Carol's contest! Love, Carolyn

Crisp reminder of fall..Opossum love persimmons in the fall...Glad you had a lesson in wild animals and trees..We have a saying in American he is as sour as a 'possum eating green persimmons...Sara
