October glows but leaves cascade
A golden, petal-like brocade
The scene is pure
Baroque in rain;
Slip-sliding moments here again.
Swathes of leaves blown from tram track
City sweepers suck them back
Inside each fast cremation van:
Slow process causing
traffic jam!
Travellers warned to take good care
When strolling in the autumn air
The haunting beauty of tree hues
Distracts – hence need for sturdy shoes!
Dark evenings now, devoid of stars
E-scooters weave between wet cars;
But under magic autumn skies
In leaf-strewn streets - great danger lies …
