October Nights
The moon is full and golden
Spirits awake, become emboldened
Leaves and mists swirl about
Autumn is here, without a doubt.
++++
Foot steps echo down the street
It’s not someone you’d want to meet.
Something fluttering round your ears
Black and sharp, awakes your fears.
++++
Keep your eyes straight ahead
Keep your nerve don’t wind up dead.
There are more things to this season
Than can be explained by human reason.
++++
If we were having coffee , every Sunday
Salty like hot dogs (and tears). Sweet like marmalade (and life).
Rants, humor, sarcasm, and a haiku-like substance? It's hard to know what's going to come out of our minds next.

I really love this! Excellent writing. Thank you so much. It is my month of joy that begins my favorite season. Next month I start making my fruitcake. It has to soak in some form of liquor from November to until December to be just right. One of my favorite stories is by a male, and right now for the life of me, I cannot remember his name, but he wrote some famous mysteries based on fact too, and in this book, which is a memory of his childhood with a favorite aunt, she always says, “It’s fruitcake weather,” and she and he go out to gather fallen nuts, spices and makings of fruitcakes, most all of which will be sent to people she remembers each year, and the ingredients include a cupful of liquor from Indian Joe (I think that is right) who runs a speakeasy down by the river. It is one of my favorite stories and I feel bad that sometimes my memory does not serve me well. Maybe you will know the story too and can help me to remember it.
I got myself a very small pumpkin, and it is not my perfect pumpkin choice, but it did have some dried curlicues and a somewhat bent over stem, so a little closer to being something I would choose this year. Anyway, your writing seems to go so well with my thoughts for the season, and I appreciate that very much.

Thank you Autumn is an exciting month, both an end and a restart to things. A harvest and a renewal, ancient and modern mix well at this time. Like you we will be making preparations for our Christmas cake, like you also we soak ours in either brandy, whiskey or dark rum. I do love the gold’s and reds of these autumnal months and the carpets of leaves everywhere. Is the story you are thinking of Tom Sawyer and the author Mark Twain… I remember the stories but had to think hard about the author 😀. Have a good day 💜
