Well I love October too it’s my second most favourite month and Autumn is my favourite season. I have chosen to do an Autumn Tanka.
I smell grey Autumn.
My eyes see russet and gold
Pure white feathers fall
Mournful honk as geese depart.
Cold rustling in the north wind

Ohhhh, Willow! You’re back! I get some chilly vibes from your tanka. We had a touch of frost on our house roof this morning. The cold will be here in no time!

I am indeed Colleen and I hope to stay back💜 The chill is here and the damp and the fog! The frost will be here soon. Take care keep warm .
Thank you for being patient with me 💜💜💜

Fall is here. We heard the geese, but I think they turned around to avoid Hurricane Ian. Your poem is beautiful.

I’m guessing October is not your favourite?
Such a lovely month!
Oct 10, 2022 @ 05:09:52
No it’s my second favourite I absolutely love September and October and Autumn is my favourite season 💜

Good grief. I just went back to reread this post. I was definitely sidetracked. My comment makes no sense. I stayed stuck on the mournful honk. This is a lovely tanka.
Oct 10, 2022 @ 10:09:30
Thank you , I suppose it was because I call the honk mournful which to me it was ❤️❤️💜💜
Oct 10, 2022 @ 11:30:02
And my head is filled with all sorts of things so I am easily distracted. 🧡🧡🧡
Oct 10, 2022 @ 11:31:25
I totally understand 💜💜

I love the Autumnal honk, Willow. It starts in August here on the South Coast and heralds the new season … 🧡
Oct 11, 2022 @ 11:23:37
We all have our time to see the geese to go and it all signals Autumn 🎃
