Paula Goldsmith Poet Villanelle

October You Are the Best

Welcome October you are the best.
So glad to see you before winter,
You took a twelve month rest.

Singing birds are in their nest.
Flowers blooming no more bright colors,
Welcome October you are the best.

October is from the east to the west.
We have both hibernated way too long,
You took a twelve month rest.

I see the sun coming up off the crest,
Beautiful colors to start the day.
Welcome October you are the best.

We are truly blessed,
Even if the clouds are gray.
Please be our guest.

We have missed you,
Glad you are back.
Welcome October you are the best,                                                              
You took a twelve month rest.
