October Blues
Frost kissed trees with golden leaves
With wind, they sway and move
Against a certain coloured sky
I call October blue.
And on the deck, though wind and rain
Have left them torn and chewed,
The callies and the bacopa
Still bloom in shades of blue.
Then from the sighing evergreens,
Familiar calls ring true;
The jays are back, in winter coats
Of bright October blue.
October paints the hills and fields
In most amazing hues:
Tangerine and red are fine,
But I like Autumn blue.

I like autumn blue, too! Lovely tribute to it, Nancy!
Lovely, lovely Nancy! Wish this season wasn’t so fleeting!
What nice photos, Nancy!
Nancy I love October Blues especially the deep blue skies as a back drop for the autumn leaves…lovely pics and poem!!
How lovely, dear Nancy. Autumn Joy!
Lovely photos. That jay’s colour is fantastic. Here in England the jays are not so colourful.
Lovely, vivid colors -and poetry!
That’s lovely Nancy. The clouds are hanging heavy here today – but tomorrow, nothing but blue skies to frame the autumn colours.
This is lovely, Nancy! It looks beautiful in Nova Scotia;-)
Blue light – just finished Joan Didion’s new book, “Blue Night.” A lifetime could be spent understanding blue!
I saw the name of your post and had to check it out! I was thinking just today how important blue is as the perfect counterpoint to all the gold, red, and orange hues of the season. Your images and poetry are lovely!
Wouldja look at that blue jay!! Never has it looked more beautiful. And the fluff is amazing.
Love your happy autumn poem, Nancy.
