October Scenes
October, what have you brought to me?
Red velvet leaves drape a row of trees.
A skeleton trapped by spiders
whispers, "Please, please, set me free!"
Pumpkins and gourds keep watch on who's sneaking around.
Old bones struggle to escape the ground.
A calico naps in the noon day sun.
Zinnias flourish, pretending summer isn't done.
A burst of red and gold peeks out from the green.
A ninja is always watching the neighborhood scene.
The colors of Christmas? No, not already!?
But the colors, oh the colors!
The colors leave me heady!
These are great Daisy!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteI love your poem and the beauty of Autumn in your neighborhood! (especially the cat!) lol I remember at your last home how you had tons of leaves to rake each year; do you have a lot to rake at your newest home??
ReplyDeleteNo, we don't have many to rake here. Fortunately, we can enjoy the colors in our neighbor's trees without having to rake much. :-)
DeleteLovely, Daisy! Your skeleton certainly looks as though he's begging for mercy!
ReplyDeleteHe does look kind of pitiful. :)
DeleteYour pictures are gorgeous! Fall hasn't quite arrived here, but I see little hints of it here and there. Looks very colorful where you live.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dorothy! The weatherman is predicting frost and a possible dusting of snow for us here this weekend! I'm not ready for any snow yet,.
DeleteOh Wow what beauty you have already. These are some gorgeous pics and the poem as well. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susie. The trees are getting more colorful with each passing day.
Delete"Old bones struggle to escape from the ground." LOVE it. So glad u posted photos of the color around you on the trees and the pumpkins, ninja and of course those old bones!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sandy! I thought of you and your "pumpkin house" when I took the picture of the pumpkins and gourds. :-)
Delete"smile"...have a great weekend! or rather Sunday.
DeleteThank you! You too!
DeleteI loved the lines about the zinnias pretending summer's not yet done. The colours of autumn are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sujata Sengupta. I'm glad you enjoyed this. :)
DeleteSuch beautiful photos, Daisy! We are so dry here; the grass looks like it has been killed by a frost. I do have one maple turning orange. I have two calico cats, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Charlotte. Calico cats are my favorite!
DeleteWhat wonderful Fall pictures! I love this time of year!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginni! It's a beautiful season, isn't it.

ReplyDeleteThank you, D! I'm trying to enjoy it as much as I can. Winter will be here before we know it.
Deleteglorious pics and words. I am heady from the whiff of fall. Alas, it's so hot in TX, things are just turning brown. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joanne! My son is in Texas for an internship for his major in college right now. I've been hearing about the heat there. Wish I could send you some cooling breezes.
DeleteGreat poem and pics. You've got a lot more color there. Like Joanne, our leaves are mostly turning a little brown and falling down. Hopefully, we'll see some color soon.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
Fall truly happening in your town! We are burning as well. It was 90 deg. on Tuesday.
