End of October

October Mowing over Buy blower Flame thrower Leaves smolder Smoky odor Feeling bolder Getting older written on a gloomy, rainy day, October 25, 2021

I thought you might like this one, Caren. I was in an experimental mood.

I'm glad you loved it, Shirley. It was sort of experimental for me.

You just painted the picture we have here in my little town. Darn! Yes, it's gloomy here as well. I enjoyed reading it. Thanks for sharing.

Aw, Virginia, you'll never know how much I always appreciate your kind thoughts. We just have to chin up!

I like what you've done here better than a footle. It's so much richer with three-four syllables, and yet it's got that footle beat to it. Lovely done, Milt! ~ Gershon

I noticed, too, that it had a footle beat. It was quite experimental on my part, as I'm used to writing the longer line. I'm glad you enjoyed it, gw. Appreciate you.
