October Boon There are reasons, I do not jest, why I like October best… for chill winds chase clouds away, moon and stars seem here to stay. Glowing brightly, in full glory hangs the moon, and it’s surely bringing with it moonlight’s charms staving away any werewolf’s harm. October leaves crackling underneath, and like a dagger to a sheath my coat is wrapped around my arms, the lone wolf’s howl brings no alarm. Moonlight brightly hanging nightly under which the crops find harvest, moonlight shimmers, growing dimmer as sunlight comes for Octoberfest. Through the daylight I shall ponder and through leaves I shall wander ‘till I find again sweet night’s moon to me known as October’s boon. 28 October, 1999 ©KRJ ------------------ Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

October is a boon, and you said it well Sunshine. ------------------ *Elizabeth* "Dwelt a maid belov'd and cherish'd by high and low, But with autumn leaf she perish'd, long time ago..." "Something sweet, something sort of grandish, sweeps my soul when thou art near..." |
