October's Story Contes  ~  November 4, 2023

      Sponsored by Gina McIntosh

Mid October's leaves have wrinkled, tattered and torn, they are crinkled. Seasons must change, I understand. Dear God, please keep hold of my hand With russet hues of a wood thrush, and rouge shades of October's blush, Nature paints upon your command. Dear God, please keep hold of my hand. Orchards are ripe for picking, and season's time clock is ticking. There's never been a month so grand. Dear God, please keep hold of my hand. October's a kaleidoscope, strengthening faith with Autumn's hope. When trees are bare in a maple stand, Dear God, please keep hold of my hand.

With a prayer-filled refrain, "Dear God, please keep hold of my hand", the kyrielle is written very beautifully. Congratulations!

Dear Lin, the magic of your poetic pen spills October enchantment upon the page. Indeed, "There's never been a month so grand"! Your vivid imagery and rhymes capture both the joy and melancholy of the beauty and transition of this glorious month. Congratulations for your win in Gina's contest. Warmest wishes for a happy Thanksgiving my friend.. ~Susan

It's on my bucket list to visit New England in the fall. I've only seen the amazing pictures of it. Tom

I haven’t either, Tom. Most trees here don’t have grand colorful displays. I’m planning a cruise from Maryland, to Maine and into Canada in October.

A wonderful blessing for the season Lin. I really like the line "October's a kaleidoscope"... the twisting and turning colors... Thanks so much
