October turns another numbered page Act three of nature's seasonal ballet While dreams of summer gradually assuage Bright dancing leaves now star in autumn's play Chilled mornings waken to a heavy dew Cold mercury begins it's slow descent The sun pulls closer for a better view And blankets thrown on beds wear moth balls' scent But spirits are not dampened by the change Young children's dreams grow sweeter by the day While mothers clean spare rooms and rearrange As they prepare for coming holidays October means that festive times are here Let's grab ourselves a bratwurst and a beer an original poem by Daniel Turner

Such a joyous, festive Sonnet, Daniel! I enjoyed your poem very much. I was shopping today and all the Holloween decorations have been out for a while and now Thanksgiving and Christmas too. Your Sonnets are amazing! Sandra

Moth balls I remember from childhood. I love the line about the sun pulling closer. That must be why it gets in my eyes.

Thank you, Jean. Yes, actually the earth is the one moving closer as the days grow shorter but that wouldn't fit:) I'm glad you dropped by, grab yourself a brat and a glass of beer:)

Sign me up for the bratwurst n beer. Sounds wonderful. I also like how you coupled the 3 syllable words together throughout. Created a very halloweeny rhythm. Very cool. I didn't like how I had to look up what assuage means, but I don't hold you responsible for my idiocy Excellent write!
