There is so much about October to like:
The darkening world,
The color of the leaves,
The growing coolness,
Football season,
The World Series,
A trip to Florida or Louisiana,
Oysters,
Hot dogs and chili,
Corn dogs at the Spalding County Fair
Pulling out the tweeds and cardigans,
Anticipating the seasons ahead,
Bonfires lighting the darkness,
Amber beers,
A breakfast of oatmeal and tea,
Orange things,
The clarity of the air,
The amber afternoons,
Shorter days, longer nights,
Candy from strangers,
Opening your front door to the world,
Passing out the bounty,
Orange and crimson and yellow,
The coming brown season,
Lighting the night to chase the darkness,
Warming your hands with hot chocolate
And boiled peanuts.
Come hither, love, and let me hug you close.
About Me
- TBAYNHAMIII
- I was born in Kentucky, though my parents had been living in Knoxville before my birth. My mother's mother lived across the street from the hospital in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, which was convenient. I moved around quite a bit when I was young, but ended up in Georgia. I like to read and write and love food and drink way too much. I have a funny wife and daughter who has finished her batchelor's degree and is living with her grandmother in North Atlanta and studying advertising. I sometimes wonder what life would have been like if I had not gone to law school. Regrets come and go with the seasons.

this is more than likely my favorite poem of yours in a while.
