A Nice October Day Poem by Francis Duggan

The Magpies on the grass lay enjoying the sunshine
On a near to perfect day in October quite warm and fine
A high for the day of twenty three degrees
With few gray clouds in the blue sky and hardly any breeze
The parkland looking green after recent Spring rain
With such a nice day one can hardly complain
Though the weather changes quickly at this time of year
And by the radio weather forecast tomorrow will bring showers that to sunny spells will clear
The summer draws closer with each passing day
And the much warmer weather is not far away
The cape weed in bloom quite a beautiful sight
They do look quite pretty in the Spring sunlight
And Nature in all of her Spring colors is seen
Her multi colored wildflowers blooming amidst the green.
