There is a concert outside-muted and mellow
The leaves circling around-red and yellow
Flowing through the wind, dancing and bright
Neighbors decorating, Oh what a sight!

Soon we'll hear all the children and their laughter
But we know it's the treats and candy they're after
Don't forget about the princesses and vampires too
A very big Happy Halloween from me to you!

The years first snowfall
An outcry in October
Tears on painted leaves

10-20-2018

The wind is angry today
Whipping violently at the trees
Howling and whistling too
A warning of what is to come

Branches and twigs snap under her speed
Animals will need to snuggle in tonight
Sure to send a shiver down your spine
As the gale knocks on your bedroom window

The whirlwind tries to ****** every last leaf
The remaining ones dance on tree limbs
celebrating victory over might gusts
Mother nature laughs as her children play
