It Was One of Those Fine October Days
It was one of those fine October days
free from summer’s heat and haze
but not yet gripped by autumn chill.
It was one of those fine October days
when the sky’s so clear
you can see the moon
through the atmosphere
at midday.
It was one of those fine October days
when the trees sport yellow and red
instead of everyday summer green.
It was one of those fine October days
when one draws a deep breath
and is grateful
to be resident on Earth.

Hi Anne .. what a lovely poem - tells us about October as it often is - we do occasionally get sun here don't we!
I do love Autumn, just wish winter wasn't coming!! Cheers and have a good weekend .. Hilary
Lovely words and I do so love seeing the moon in daylight hours...
Autumn brings with it rashes of rich colourful foliage, but to me it is the beginning of the death that winter resides over, where nature sleeps and struggles to survive.
Give me the growth of spring and the lush green foliage of summer...
