5 Things About October

Mushtaq tagged me for "5 Random Things". My collection isn't very random, but there it is.

I love October wind
scattering gold in front
of a grey storm-wall. I love Ray Bradbury
who invented October (before him
it was just another page on the calendar),
and I love the candles
in the jack-o-lantern hearts
of my city. I love the stained-glass
leaves on the Tartar maples.
I love the smell of windfall apples
on the sidewalk. Allah,
how beautiful is Thy creation.

Let's hear from...
Rafael
Mike
Rethabile

Y'all don't have to do it in poetry...
