October Is Orange


monarchs waltzing on the wind,

    jack-o'-lantern's fiery grin,

pumpkin spice's sweet perfume,

    the orange glow of Hunter’s Moon,

falling leaves in orange cascade ~

    October is an orange parade.

This is lovely.... ! With few strokes, you have painted October and its orange hues. It is the season of ripeness and ripeness is colored mostly by an orange shade- both fruits and leaves~
