It's Here!

October

I miss the taste of the chilling air

When October makes its mark.

On the calendar of life in my mind

Nature’s sweet time lies.

The smell of dew drenched morning

After frost tipped grass has melted.

Whimpering sounds of canyon breezes

Sent running round the mountains.

To see black clouds of coal burning stoves

As they spice up old cold houses.

And the scent of Sunday supper

Made of pumpkin pie and squashes.

This is the time when all relax

On front porches big and small

And take the time to breathe inside

The miracle of the season, fall.

-Jennifer Brown Perkins-

October makes me happy!
