Today was no exception. It snowed briefly this morning, and I love nothing more than the first snowfall of the year (except maybe Spring when I can bask in the sun for the first time of the year :)
October
~John Updike
The month is amber,
Gold, and brown.
Blue ghosts of smoke
Float through the town.
Great V's of geese
Honk overhead,
And maples turn
a fiery red.
Honk overhead,
And maples turn
a fiery red.
Frost bites the lawn,
The stars are slits
In a black cat's eye
Before she spits.
The stars are slits
In a black cat's eye
Before she spits.
At last, small witches,
Goblins, hags,
And pirates armed
With paper bags.
Goblins, hags,
And pirates armed
With paper bags.
Their costumes hinged
On safety pins,
Go haunt a night
Of pumpkin grins.
On safety pins,
Go haunt a night
Of pumpkin grins.
Happy Autumn everyone!
**update: I woke up today and it's as if my body just wanted to be better. So, I'm still a little sore, but I'm up and moving and feel 200% better today.
