Hello October


October stirs her paints for autumn's blend
     to soon create new landscapes on display.
Her cool, crisp air we share and now befriend;
     become aware that autumn's here to stay.

Progressing soon, redressing of our trees
     that summer-green no longer can sustain.
The beauty of October's painted leaves
     will help to heal the loss-of-summer pain.

The orchards, filled with autumn's ripened gifts
     now beckon us to pick them and consume.
Aroma, from sweet luscious pies, uplifts;
     replaces missing scents of summer's bloom.

When our October ends, we'll realize
      November will move in her winter skies.
