October - tenth month - glows in sun
Misty mornings – summer’s done …
A chilly start to each new day
Where trees sport every shade but grey!
Nature’s cloak of many colours
(Remember Jacob and his brothers?)
Beats any catwalk fashion show
In terms of subtle shades and glow.
I do not mean to denigrate
Modern stylists who are great
But wonder if they’ve honed their craft
From Nature’s palette, which is vast …
The play of sun on burnished leaves
Provides a sheen on Autumn’s sleeves
And moonlight dances on the lake
A ballgown only God can make …
The rich brocade of golden grasses,
Kingfisher blue which briefly passes;
A living tapestry goes by
Captured by this poet’s eye!
