~October's Shawl~
October is a splendid month Wrapped in a flaming shawl It holds the richest treasures As the summer turns to fall.
The brilliant leaves swirl to the earth Colors of orange and brown Dipped in scarlet and touched with bronze They fall tumbling to the ground.
The grass is dying, the flowers are gone October is taking his stand. He is paving the way for winter Leaving his mark upon the land. He does his job so silently Splashing the woodlands with gold To be altered by ruthless ‘Ole Winter Who enters so careless and bold.
He will crinkle the leaves that you’ve colored Causing a state of despair And cover the day with a blanket of gray Forgetting you ever were there.
But, although your radiant flame must die And the delicate leaves do fall You’ve paved the way for snowflake days As winter drapes your shawl.
