Notes About The Poem

Special thanks to my hubby, David, for lending me a helping hand with this (he suggested the word 'orchard')

Oregon's Octobers

Oregon's Octobers offer odysseys 
of opulent orange orchards
opening on overjoyed oaks.

Wonderful pen, it makes me want to visit Oregon in the Fall; very cleverly done.

Alliteration looks easy, but for anyone who has ever done it, there is nothing effortless about it. This one seems effortless, and that is a talent in itself, my friend.

I was thinking how orange this October is, and it came from that.
