October

Leaves falling, turning, crunching under my feet
the warmth of sunlight, with a chill underneath
the pumpkin orange, apple red
the sky all blue, and leaves yellow
There is just something about October

Sweaters, good books, and warm fires
the last of summer, with the beginning of Winter
grass still green, bark still brown
sky still blue, and sun still yellow
There is just something about the Fall

I watch the earth die, decay
And I laugh with the first Snow
I smile at the briliant colors
blues, oranges, reds, greens
There is just something about October.
