October Bed

As October skies show fading places fading traces of yesterday... I will watch a sky yield a change of hue turning gray from shades of blue Let the trees turn crimson red Let the wind bring seasons new I'll smile upon the pillowed earth that brings instead.... A golden spread of autumn leaves to lay my head

Congratulations Carrie I agree with Andrea this contest has produced many beautiful works, We could almost make a little book of them all... I love how you use the rhyme in your first two lines and the forcefulness of lines five and six. The whole verse pleases me immensely. well written...Margaret

There is a fall foliage tour on an old passenger train in Jim Thorpe, Pa. Autumn scenes that just amaze. October has it's own beauty. Vince

Beautifully written Carrie, we have a road where you drive through trees on both sides of the road and they meet in the middle like a canopy, it is so beautiful just like your poem. God Bless. Leon
