Our Fall-2

October’s second half brings us new rains,
Copious and pouring with sodden days.
Torrential it turns and then it but wanes,
Our winter sets in with less of sun’s blaze.
But for cool nights, sans bark and bite it stays,
Efforts at birth control take a nosedive,
Respite from high heat is all we derive.

Excellent acrostic, S. This is one of the most "poetic sounding" acrostics I've ever read. Love the line about the torrential raains that wane and the way you were able to make it rhyme. Great write! Congratulations on your win in Carol's contest! Love, Carolyn
