October Song

Can you hear the melody the wind breathes into the branches brown and green and some black Its like the familiar noise your nose makes when you have a cold that whistling so faint The red blue black birds sing along in formation They are colorful dots in the sky like music notes that breeze reads and breathes song of life into The hills have eyes and can read music too The grass burnt from summer still has dew and weeds But my favorite is the dance of the leaves floating falling to their doom to end up in piles The red ones they are like fire dancing salsa The brown ones do a hip hop bop The green ones do an Irish jig The tan ones have native American steps The amber ones wave like fanning geisha dancing In death all leaves turn black dancing jazz Orange cat purrs chasing leaves He also runs from the boisterous bulldogs song Nature provides them a natural coat And when it is time even the deer welcome it. October song is a beautiful sing a long, join in. OCTOBER POETRY CONTEST SPONSOR Regina McIntosh 10/4/2021
