I'm October

Did you know there’s a sweetest day?
It’s the twenty-first. Recall it well.
On calendars it’s on display.
I’m October; sweet is my tale.

How wonderful my time in fall.
On a mountain or in a dell -
With multi-colors I enthrall.
I’m October; sweet is my tale.

My story is always the same.
Take delight in me on a trail.
Keep in mind my beautiful name.
I’m October; sweet is my tale.

If nature spoke, she would impart
her tales of how I cast a spell
that brings nostalgia to the heart.
I’m October; sweet is my tale.

With all your senses, take me in.
The freshness of my air – inhale!
I grace each place when I begin.
I’m October. Sweet is my tale.

This is a very interesting form and you’ve done a very creative one here, with your chosen refrain. “ If nature spoke, she would impart her tales of how I cast a spell” those lines stood out for me the most, and your rhymes are stunning! this poem has a melodious flow to it. Goodluck for the contest. Love it
