The Door To October

The door opens... October! Leaves begin to fall, a chill is in the air. I close the door, but September doesn't return. Should I go buy a pumpkin or two or three? I see a black cat out the window, is he Mr. October? Perhaps, I'll feed the chipmunks. What do they eat? I reopen the door to October and head out into it's path. I see daddy long legs and let them crawl. I go to the lake and see turtles reaching for the sun. October says howdy to me. I say hello back with a lit cigarette. Why are all these birds flying through the trees? Halloween is coming soon. Oh what a delight, I want pumpkin pie! The sun is running lower through the sky, when will he ride high again? I don't like witches or their magic. I'm back home and I close the door to October. Hhhmph! Thursday, November 4, 2021
