IN THE AUTUMN of OCTOBER [Sonnet 10-08]
Watching leaves turn like chameleons
Smelling, th' flowers impending doom
Scathed by southern winds, breathing
Through Mother Natures gravid womb
Conceiving......upon her earthly throne
This Autumntide.....wherein she hones
Lustrous drapes of shadow, and spice
Leaving August's stridence, far behind
And, o'er th' harvests, gathering field's
Soft Autum mist............October's meal
While, Mother Nature spins her breeze
Of season's change...........Fall's recipe
Burnt umber leaf.......'neath sunsets red
'Til Winter's wrath strikes Autumn dead
FjR
