Autumn Poetry

Rain is in the forecast for the weekend again.  Cold and windy days are here to stay for few months.  Love this season and I love dressing for it.

One of my favorite autumn accessories: tights.  Here is my newest addition.  I love them!

Now Blue October

Now blue October, smoky in the sun,
must end the long sweet summer of the heart.
The last brief visit of the birds is done;
they sing the autumn songs before they part.
Listen, how lovely — there’s the thrush we heard
when June was small with roses, and the bending
blossom of the branches covered nest and bird,
singing the summer in, summer unending -
give me your hand once more before the night;
see how the meadows darken with the frost,
how fades the green that was the summer’s light.
Beauty is only altered, never lost,
and love, before the cold November rain,
will make its summer in the heart again.
