Notes About The Poem

October Sun

October sun how it catches my eye as it casts a gold glow each morning It rises in the autumnal sky so high I cherish each day the sun’s dawning October sun how it catches my eye it resembles an enormous pumpkin Halloween revellers will soon pass by wanting gifts from this country bumpkin October sun how it catches my eye As it scintillates in the bare trees How quickly the seasons pass us by soon will come winter’s harsh freeze October Sun Contest Sponsored by Line Gauthier N/A in Contest but awarded POTD 10/31/19 10/29/19

Jan, the perfect match of your photo to your poem elevates the set to absolutely breathtaking. I wish photos came through with contest entries because I can assure you would not have received an N/A. I'm so happy your beautiful poem was highlighted as a POTD.
