Oh most favored month October!
Zooming recklessly by nearly spent, 
careening wildly through my town 
and on towards winter disliked by some, loved
despite its rigors by me for so many items
including even the early and longer darkness
puffed up mounds of covers on the bed
my dogs’ thick curly winter coats
my own circumspection and planning.
I’ll not go on for now it is colorful
October most favored month.
And oh how it zooms by!
