Aura of October

Sated with savor sown in a summer past musings are mulled with soft cider flavor whilst caramel leaves harvest eve’s rose hip rays — and like the wild asters wearing the flame and fade of twilight hues I moon ‘neath Orion’s garden midst stars falling from comet’s bloom Susan Ashley October 5, 2019 Poet’s note: the Orionid meteor showers, considered to be one of the most beautiful showers of the year, peaks in mid-October and are caused by debris from Halley’s comet. Each time the famous comet passes around the Sun, it leaves in its wake a trail of cosmic dust and grit along its orbit (shooting/falling stars). The Orionids are so-called because the point from which they appear to originate, called the radiant, lies in the constellation Orion, but they can be seen over a large area of the sky.
