October Cool
Crisp lemon colored leaves
kamikaze off branches
Diving and dying
Glorious unconcerned dance
Squirrels chatter
Scold each other over nuts
flip their curly tails
with sassy attitudes
Deer walk softly,
fearing November, understanding
Many will be laying down their lives in November
Their hoofs smash multi-colored leaves into the forest floor.
October cool.
Sweaters and sweatshirts precede scarves and mittens
Songbirds sing their joy as trees go bare.
Announcing winter early
