Notes About The Poem

October's Applause

October lingers on the soul Harvest blessings In hues of hope October sky’s Shimmering in your eyes Reminding me why I can delight In the whisper of Autumn Coloring the whole world Shades of scarlet, tangerine And gold mélange October sun Combined with dew brushed dreams Succulent loves smiling serenity Throughout the morning Forever warming Alive and flowing With joy October nights Vibrant and alive, clearly driven By passions of healing Winds, soft and silent Caressing the spirit With intimacy October thrives with praise Sensations of life Prayers of faith Admiration October laughs at the moon Longing for its breath To soothe away the darkest Shadows of stardust moments Caressing the past With memories Nostalgia October sings to souls Inviting grace to shine As wisdom arouses the light To stroke the melodies With shades of faith Dancing to the sound Of Autumn’s silence October shines big In flavors of pumpkin spice Leathery leaves so crisp Warnings of cool wishes Crying to the peaks Repeating the refrain Of penetrating whispers Yearning for the closing Of a fragile Summer bliss October is the second chance For God to speak His kindness Across the backdrop of tranquility On wings of utmost belief His finger lifts from its canvas To show a world filled with Wonders and miracles, amazement October’s applause admiring God’s creation

Oh my gosh!!!!!!!!! That is some beautiful and profound imagery. Everything goes back to God and you put Him in your piece in a really nice way. Almost made me cry. This was excellent!

Beautiful words well-expressed and appropriate to the Octobers I have experienced in the past. Hopefully this one will follow suit. Great example for us to set our sights with.

Thanks for this... making me see, feel, experience and delight in the Lord's October blessings... though virtually, since such October is not actually like that here in my country, which is "Autumnless." Thanks likewise for my placement in your recently-judged contest. God bless you.

This is stunning, vivid and charming Regina. You can almost hear nature when reading this beautiful poem. I am going to steal CayCay's words and say I too think you have smashed it in your own contest! Truly wonderful.

Well, darling - I think you just won your own contest. Your imagery delivered October in all its glory, right here, to me in my den. You delighted all my senses and especially my love of mountains in October says me who just moved to Florida. I always enjoy your talent. Where do you live? Thanks for all you do on Soup and all you put up with (I'm guessing.) Blessings ... CayCay
