Fay Slimm - Our Octobering.

Leaves ready to fall
...........................now redden and blush.
Demur in change,
.....................they know October's here.
Windblown they tremble
............................ yet shed without rush.
We, dear friend,
................. feel our autumness nearing.

Heated by summer,
......................love no more emboldens
Like sad paling leaves
................................ our verses run dry.
Coats of lonliness
...........................loosen each frail hold.
Bur we penned glorious hues,
.............................................. you and I.
