October Bliss

cold’s fire rages
against dawn’s smoldering clouds
calliope colors sing
a treetop chorus
sad songs of jubilation
fulfilling soft budded dreams

Gosh, so many top wins with the November theme. You are my top win for October Bliss. I thought it was really cool how you had contradictions in this one like "cold fire" and sad songs of jubilation" a most interestingly composed sedoka. Congrats in my contest.
