October

O pening up my front door this morning,
C ould not believe what I saw there.
T he aroma of wood smoke was in the air.
O vernight the entire world had changed,
B ountiful beauty as far as the eye could see.
E very leaved limb shivered in the cool air.
R eminding me of all my autumns gone by.

This was my first acrostic poem and I still can't believe that it won a first place in your contest, and now again in Linda's! I'm so glad that you enjoyed reading this once again. :)

Excellent! I rarely see acrostics that read so naturally. Very picturesque as well. Sights, smells, feels; all very charming. Congratulations.
