The Gifts of Autumn: #3. Luscious sunsets for dessert

"October is

when night guzzles up

the orange sherbet sunset

and sends the day

to bed

before supper...."                                     (excerpt from October by Bobbi Katz)

"Delicious autumn!   My very soul is wedded to it, 
and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth 
seeking the successive autumns."

The Gifts of Autumn: #1. Blue October

October's Bright Blue Weather

   O SUNS and skies and clouds of June,
        And flowers of June together,
    Ye cannot rival for one hour
        October's bright blue weather;

(first stanza from the poem by Helen Hunt Jackson)
