__________________________________________________________________

I slept and then October with stealth crept in. I knew it when a breeze blew in. Crisp and clean, it softly breathed and wreathed the trees and kissed my skin. Hues of passion now show fall fashion for its trees. Birds loudly call. When winds blow hard, leaves of fall careen. Coolness drops by some degrees. Please let there be no early freeze. Spiced pies have enticed me. Pumpkins look like silly saps. On porches, their eyes- bright by night- welcome Halloween. October then takes its leave – with a heave of wind perhaps.

"Falls fashion for trees" I never thought of it that way. It adds a whole new demintion to life itself .

This is absolutely gorgeous and very creative my dearest poet friend. Using the given words from the sponsor to compose a poem is too difficult for me but you did it very well with ease. A great winning peace for me. I love it a lot and enjoyed. Thanks for sharing and best wishes always. Hope to read also your Halloween poem soon. God bless you. Hugs

Halloween is actually my fave time of the year and the only festive time i enjoy! Hmm thinking of dressing up this year lol. I love your rhymes and how youv written this form. I am thinking of trying it again too. But this time, theres some questions i have regarding internal rhymes, he gave us a specific scheme? Not sure. Will have too. Best wishes! I think judge will enjoy your take! Sending you light always! So good to read you after a long time

what will you dress up as? I looked at the first place winner and also Joseph's own example, and tried to imitate inner rhymes the way they both were doing it. Lope I did not mess anyting up. This is a difficult contest.

A powerful example of 'The Process' subject to a 'Limited Palette'; the sieve [form] ". . . catching certain materials" as Theodore Roethke put it. Not all rules are bad. Prosaic grandeur ~ kitchy sublime. [FAV]
