OCTOBER IN CANADA

399TH  poem published October 5, 2026

October is frosting up

With colder winds blowing through

The trees and the woods are shining

And a few snowflakes are flying too

But the light and shadows in the forests

Are  brilliant  with yellows and reds in debut

While falling leaves in a soft carpet grow

Vibrant with colour under a sky so blue

It’s October and the magic of change

Hits the senses with spirits renewed

When the colours of life are aglow

And a new equinox rises in nature’s show

A whole month to enjoy the change

Lighting home fires to bring warmth from the flames 

While sparks rise up to the stars

What a life in the north is ours
