Mountain, forest, and lake; the peak cries into

...I go to the fair 
and I see many crafts
My brother didn't really care
It started to rain I thought we needed rafts

October Nips

...Busty shaped and large of hip
the busy winds of October
buffet my brain
within its whistling cave.

Around the shoulders
of every lumpy molehill
