Autumn Tag

The bright summer had passed away, and gorgeous autumn was flinging its rainbow-tints of beauty on hill and dale. ~Cornelia L. Tuthill, "Virginia Dare: Or, the Colony of Roanoke," 1840

Good morning!

I am just a little bit late getting my project for the current Sunday Song & Rhyme Challenge posted! You can find the challenge HERE

Our poem this fortnight was picked by Lorie Hill

October

by John Updike from A Child's Calendar

The month is Amber,

Gold and Brown.

Blue ghosts of smoke

Float through the town.

Great V’s of geese

Honk overhead.

And maples turn

A fiery red.

Frost bites the lawn.

The stars are slits

In the black cat’s eye

Before he spits.

At last, small witches,

Goblins, hags,

And pirates armed

With paper bags.

Their costumes hinged

On safety pins,

Go haunt a night

Of pumpkin grins.

Our sponsor this fortnight is Polkadoodles and I am using this cute gnome image Autumn Wheelbarrow.
My inspiration comes from the line The month is Amber, Gold and Brown.

This past weekend I did a spooky basket swap with some ladies from a Facebook group I am a member of and I wanted a fun tag. This was perfect!
