Rents her colorful veil
Does Summer die
When Autumn comes
It’s hard to tell
Wrap her quilt around you
Of oranges yellows and red
October embraces you
From your toes
To your head
If Spring is a child
Summer is youth
October is
Grandmother’s love
Wrapping you in truth.

I love how this piece makes me feel Gail--I wish we were feeling fall but summer is still in full swing--
This has a very autumnal feel to it, earthy and true.
That has such a warm feeling to it!
Such lovely, comforting, thought provoking words. Now, how do I get rid of this stupid summer heat?
Sounds like fall is there where you are.
Hoping it finds us soon.

Sweet words in poetry . . ,
Lovely Gail. Now I'm thinking of my comfortable grandma. I hope you have a good October on the farm.

Oh Gail, you have outdone yourself on this bit of poetry......you have also captured my heart. So lovely
So sweet! I love the images you created in my mind.
Such a delightful description of October
stroke of genius, rhyming veil with tell.
Yep, well Mother Nature has stripped us of all er warm days and its cold my friend. Frost, heavy frost in mornings and we must wear jackets now and warmer socks. No snow yet, but its just around the corner. Oh, dear summer, why did you leave us so soon.....anyway, I'm riding my motorbike till the first snowfall.....and yes, I have my long underwear on. ha,ha
Nice poem, very enjoyable - each and every descriptive line. lol
really beautiful words here... i can feel this one as in emotions...
Colourful and comforting.
Your closing sentiment is such perfection and the lead up so well expressed.
What a marvelous ending! I really enjoyed this, Gail.
I still hang on to memories of my grandmother's warmth! Lovely poem.
What a beautiful description of the warmth we carry.
I think you captured the feeling of October perfectly!
October happens to be my favorite month.
