Written October 7, 2026, for the contest “Vers Beaucoup.” Sponsor: Joseph May
October is here and I fear it is clear; low gear, it competes with some holiday feats. Halloween greets day thirty-one to stun- with fun that October alone does own. But I groan, as I said, it's too far ahead! To be led to Christmas trees hoping to please will tend to tease us to shop till we drop - fast hop to a holiday two months away! On display, gift-filled sights, and Christmas lights are December's rights to sell fair and square; not share at this time in October's prime! A crime to now steal our Autumn zeal!
