Susurrus of October

Serenading voices of snow geese thrum in the morning sky Unrivaled is the clangor of their echoed gabbles in October Songs of Fall ride on the wind as russet leaves begin to fly Unrobed are trees; stripped bare, looking bereft and sober Ripened are amethyst crops of corn and grains in the field Rivaled by a soft golden glow of the gibbous harvest moon Undeniably beautiful, when in October its glow is revealed Seduced by its romantic luminance, lovers kiss and swoon On All Hallow's Eve, I see scary costumed trick-or-treaters Feasting on candy given by generous household greeters Ode to October, there's a chill aloft, whispering in the air Conspiring with Mother Nature in such a glorious season This pleasant month arrives with a stir of festive fanfare Offering a kaleidoscope of colors, and with good reason ~ Brushes in artists hands paint landscapes of Autumn days Eagerly, I welcome those dazzling hues that seem to blaze Rife with splendid riches, I chant October's songs of praise ~ October 2, 2020 ~ Pick-A-Title, Vol 23-Seasonal Acrostic Contest ~ Sponsored by: Edward Ibeh ~
