October Shroud Poem by Pasquale DiMeola

Take the summer, winter and spring
Give us the world of Fall
The mayhem of October winds
Worthwhile to recall

Leaves of multicolored confetti
Scampering off the bough
As shadows of the harvest moon
Silhouette the tawny owl

Pumpkins glow phosphorus orange
Those screeching cats unseen
Monstrosities of Druid kind
Wear mask on Halloween

October is the Autumn jewel
Our days should always be
Reflecting mysteries untold
Bequeathed reverie.
