Listen to poem:

October Winds

While october sun the colored leaves will burn
Indian summer days will not return
Howling winds harass a timid nature
While in haste painting a stirring picture
On its throne as judge and jury
The universe unleashed with fury

Great October-themed poem for us here in the Windy City when the winds whip in from the North, as they did today. Pen of Truth here! Congrats on your win in the contest, Line! Cheers, Gershon

Thank you so much, Gershon of the Windy City. I'm not really a big fan of wild gusts of wind myself.

The winds are something here too! They howl through the eaves of our house and it sounds like Halloween!
