The turning begins
And I start breathing faster
October excites
Pink trees! Pink trees! Pink!
Ivy changes colour too!
So much new to me
Grass glows greener yet
With a slick varnish of rain
And pulsating leaf
Sky is full of trees
Demanding our attention
Given, happily
Sturdy purple friend
Soon your cloak will drift away
But I’ll still hug you
Halloween buzzes
Drunken blinking and cold legs
Papers torn, smile whole
Pumpkins everywhere
Too warm here for them to rot
Makes a welcome change
Carpet of dead leaves
Why are you so beautiful?
Please stay here awhile
Wet leaves stuck to shoes
Invite themselves in, no harm
done, I welcome them
Dark comes sooner now
Far too late, I mourn the sun
Gleaming on gold leaves
Cruel November rain
Makes of beauty mealy mulch
Life food, smells final
Cold comes cracking in
Pull down tight on knitted hat
Brisk air, fight me now
Wind knocks me over
This is just the beginning
For now, I say hello
