Notes About The Poem

Halfway Through October:
Sponsored by: Andrea Dietrich

Mid-October Freckles

Orange mid-October freckles blemish the trees,
while Jack Frost etches abstracts on cold window panes.
And cinnamon-colored leaves fall with each brisk breeze
as Winter subtly approaches, and Summer strains
to maintain green canopies till November's freeze.
