I love brisk walks on breezy days; I’m mesmerized by fall's displays. Time’s limited. Cold weather stalks. On breezy days, I love brisk walks. October ends with trick-or-treat. Our visitors want something sweet. Each costumed kid then homeward wends. With trick-or-treat, October ends. November comes, cold winds in tow, Thanksgiving feasts, and fireplace glow; short days, hoarfrost, last pots of mums. Cold winds in tow, November comes.
