Our Mid-October offers us a blended scene- starting mild, then turning cool as crisp air imbues trees with an orange glow as leaves lose their deep green. But, as the final weeks enhance our Autumn views- October bows to our November's bolder sheen.

this is very lovely. I'd have scored it higher but the rhyme scheme is ababb. Congrats for your win.

Oh, dear, Andrea! I wrote it as a Sicilian Quintain but clicked on the English Quintain by mistake when I chose the type!! I just corrected it to Sicilian. Thank you for the "lovely" and 3rd place anyway! Hugs, Sandra
