October trembles a sigh of defeat Beckoning trees to shed their leaves Gentle gusts whisper through the sprays ~ Vivid colors paint the forest a carpet Red, amber and gold cry of melancholy October trembles a sigh of defeat ~ Soft skies calm the heart’s deep yearning Creating a world of whimsical harmony Gentle gusts whisper through the sprays ~ Squirrels and raccoons gather their meals Carrying desserts to the shelter of tree limbs October trembles a sigh of defeat ~ Echoes of birdsong murmur out a melody Singing breathlessly in the air that is crispy Gentle gusts whisper through the sprays ~ Reflections of autumn create the scene Turning the land from laughter to grief October trembles a sigh of defeat Gentle gusts whisper through the sprays Month of the year I like most Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Mohan Chutani Written and Posted on June 19, 2020

Gina, this was a slightly different take on October with a bit of sad tinge as the leaves fall and cold begins to spread. 'October trembles a sigh of defeat' said it all. Liked it and the flow was very smooth. Congratulations for your placement in my contest. Best. Mohan
