Notes About The Poem

What I love most about autumn is the golden-crimson leaves blanketing the ground signaling rebirth to come, death in all its promising grandeur          —Quote by poet

October

Open and more vast bluest skies, as temperatures drop in fall herein
Cosmic and marigold flowers everywhere as crisp yellow leaves appear
Transition from summer to winter and the tenth month of the year 
Opal gem prisim colors is the birthstone, emanating hope and purity
Beehive’s buzzing tone guards the pheromone queen under scrutiny 
Eve of Hallows’ celebrated in scary costumes on the thirty first night
Renoirs autumn’s “Argentuil”gold and red landscapes under the lamplight

Stunning display of imagination on the orange and ochre beauty of October. A magnificent poem on autumn and its sparkling shades, also with reference to Halloween happening at the close of the month. Within an acrostic of just seven letters, you have summed up the whole charm and significance of the month. Great Anaya !

Delightful acrostic, Anaya. Great imagery on the month of October. And you refer to Renoir my favorite of all the impressionist painters. Blessings.
