Beryl Edmonds Poet Acrostic

Susurrus of October

Senses are aroused as autumn appears
Unwavering in artistry to cheer
Spectacular arrays of shrubs and trees
Unequaled beauty in colourful leaves
Red, gold, yellow and brown tumbling down 
Rustling as the breeze blows them around
Underfoot fallen leaves crunch in rhapsody 
Sounds of autumn, a seasonal melody.

Owls hoot and stalk the dark woods hauntingly 
For they foresee Halloween’s soon to be.

October’s magic for all that it brings
Coming up soon, all kinds of everything 
Though days draw shorter and long is the night
Out there the autumn moon and stars shine bright
Blessed Yuletide anticipated again
Earths overture composed by wind and rain
Remains October's susurrus refrain.
