Octobers Here

By mid-October, I can always tell
it’s that sweet time when colors are so bright
that if they had aroma, they would smell
like candy corn or cinnamon and quite
like a persimmon I would like to bite
because the leaves on trees so yummy seem
against blue sky, and in the day’s last gleam.
The many hues are anything but bland.
I drive along in wonder at God’s scheme:
Octobers here appear like Candy Land.

You are right. I am a very avid summer lover, so it took till a few years ago to enjoy the fall colors. I love how you point out that they are a God scheme!

Incredible how the scenery changes from one place to another. Here in Malta this year it rained only once and it is still warm.
