cooler weather and strong winds
all the leaves falling and we see the shapes of trees
light streams into the house as the sun moves south

red geraniums still bloom
October turns to face November

October 2011, 2021

And this is another idea for the poem from October 2012:

OCTOBER TURNS

strong cold winds

leaves fall
reveal shapes
of trees

light falls
into the house
as sun moves south

red geraniums
still bloom

October turns
to face November
