Orange October

Orange October The words orange and October surely a unity made in heaven Giant pumpkin faces that light the way up darkly garden paths. Orange ghoulish faces, grin like cut throat pirates, looking for new victims. Candles flicker in their eyes like woken evil spirits Halloween approaches , battered orange leaves that change like chameleons wait for their final flight. Destination earth . Hot orange coloured broths , steam filled kitchens and chunky doorstop bread yanked angrily by hungry mouths Awakened furnaces and coal fires attack and spit at cold spirits that threaten darkened studies the month of trick or treats a sudden nasty slap of frost filled air leaves reddened cheeks embarrassed . Sunday night gentle drama watching heartbeat springs to mind. Orange October sounds like a soothing chocolate bar, cosy pub bars where locals gather and talk turns to "it's getting parky out there "

My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like.
