October 31, 2017

Excitement builds as
the minutes tick by- oh to
be trick-or-treating.

October 30, 2017

Roasted pumpkin seeds,
crunch, hint of salt- redolent
of Octobers past.

October 29, 2017

Colour gradient,
distant twinkle of lights- town
below falls asleep.

October 28, 2017

What a glorious
surprise you are- your face lights
up any fall day.

October 27, 2017

Riot of colour,
combats grey fall days- beauty
to buoy autumn mood.

October 26, 2017

Over the trees, sky
stretches for eternity-
distant horizons.

October 25, 2017

Evergreens contrast
sharply with turning oaks- fall’s
bright cloak is dropping.

October 24, 2017

Last of the harvest,
reminders of summer sun-
autumn deepening.

October 23, 2017

A quiet moment,
when you’re finally sleeping-
I think I’ll doze too.

October 22, 2017

Mountain of cookies,
baked on a Sunday- tea with
you, perfect excuse.

October 21, 2017

Pick a few sprigs of
what’s left in the yard- bring fall’s
sparse beauty inside.

October 20, 2017

Blue skies in fall seem
bluer, more precious- perhaps
it’s all those grey days.

October 19, 2017

Adult feet are gross,
but baby feet are so sweet-
give me one more dose.

October 18, 2017

Reaching for scarce light,
Christmas cacti prepare- now
their colour’s savoured.

October 17, 2017

Rain before seven,
means shine by eleven round
here- at least sometimes.

October 16, 2017

Fly away from here,
chill closes in by day- I
hear it’s warm down south.

October 15, 2017

Sail into winter,
leave warm summer glow behind-
moor and wait for spring.

October 14, 2017

Last reminder of
summer fades silently- chill
creeps closer each night.

October 13, 2017

Cold grey morning looms,
as weekend nears, rainclouds swell-
this always happens.

October 12, 2017

Garden's almost bare,
arrangements look like Christmas-
it won't be long now.

October 11, 2017

Norfolk pine gazes
longingly at free trees- can’t
I go out to play?

October 10, 2017

Fly away from black
clouds, black birds- find the sun, bring
it back to us please.

October 9, 2017

Centrepiece doesn't
make Thanksgiving dinner- it's
perfect company.

October 8, 2017

Embers of autumn
sunset linger briefly- night’s
midnight cloak descends.

October 7, 2017

I miss your sweet scent

each day, others don’t compare-

Tiare, I’ll come back.

October 6, 2017

To escape fall grey,
I relive Bora Bora-
dazzling turquoise sea.

October 5, 2017

Morning chill might send
me to autumn gloom- lagoon
daydreams buoy my soul.

October 4, 2017

A fair autumn day,
sun kisses the turning leaves-
sea remains constant.

October 3, 2017

Autumn creeps into

the little bay- even if

we hide, she will seek.

October 2, 2017

I’m ready to turn
in for fall- nothing in bloom
but some spider plants.

October 1, 2017

A new month, more leaves
fluttering to the ground- fall
deepens in meadow.
