L Milton Hankins Poet Free verse

Consolations of October

I welcome the consolations of October,
Sighs of the leaves floating gently down,
Breezes saying warm days may still come
Before the blowing cold of old November,
Portends the end of another good year.

Tom Cunningham October 31, 2022 at 2:02 PM Love the month of October not so November, trees completely bare and lots of depressing rain. Good luck in the contest Milton. Tom L Milton Hankins October 31, 2022 at 9:06 PM Thank you so much, Tom. I'm a wordy person, so I don't do so well with these short forms.
