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. October 7, 2019 October 45 or Less Words Poetry Contest Caren Krutsinger, Sponsor

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~
