Poem -
October
October is on its way
around the corner it lays in wait
like a cold stranger
its purpose and its gateway to meandering
lifting memories of Halloween
of leaves of many colors, riding on the wind
like some kindred spirit's dreary-mouthedย breathing
and speaking softly, " October, is on its way."
O slippery wet memory so fond
to hear the dewy echoes of fall
cloudy ribbed, the sunset gray
explodes in the nose
and bound
to the soul
of the seasons
October,
like a cold stranger
lays in wait
with its colors
painting glorious memories
across my smile,
As I drink it in
and quench
my thirst,
for,
October...
Tony Taylor

October with a strange cold is to the get preparing the way for the night of Halloween, October sounds like a melancholy sonata dedicated to the autumn.
I agree with the opinion of all, Tony Taylor is a great poet, his compositions trap the mind of the reader and it is transported to other dimensions.
A greeting to all, lately I am little in those threads of conversation, but even still between you.

Hey THANX MICHAEL!!...... what a great comment to say you experienced it in "real time"....... love that...... Thank You brother poet...... so sorry it took me so long to see this!!........ high fives man!!.......T xo.ย ?
Many thanks for those words to know to sincerity, I am far and near, here and there, but the day does not give me time for more, I also I consider a friend and next to the name of Mirela you have among my prayers.
I love the poem dedicated to autumn, I sounds to a hopeful sonata that makes of prelude to the waltz of the winter.
October 2015 with the history of Mirela I rang to Rhapsody, and with taste to bounce, is cast of less to the people, but in the Web as in the existence real, life must continue.
I'm even still here, speak little in those threads of conversation and public shortly, but with the same enthusiasm that the first day I'm reading to all.
A hug to all the authors of COSMO, but especially for Jai, SparrowSong, Peter, Cherie, Hardrok, Cleo, Jack, Flower, William, Williamsji, Mark, Valerie, Nardine, Richard, Devon, Susan, Christopher, Gerald, Kaz, Michael, Phillip, Eilie, Ann, Curious, Rochish, DrukenWolf, Breanna, Tracy, Georgina, Marion, Nichole,Rainy, Chris,Vikas, Tamara, Caleb, M.A, Melissa, Phillippa, Mirela and Tony Taylor, all remain in my memory and are among my prayers daily.
October
Octubre doliente,
Otoรฑo caliente,
Octubre durmiente,
sin rastro, hiriente,
Otoรฑo de ayer.
ยกKisses!
My Dear Brother Poet,
Octoberfest, the greatest month of the year.ย Summers steam gives way to Autumns alchemy, as the leaves turn to pure gold and the crisp cool air warms our souls.ย The oppressive heat converts to the coolant of passion.ย Quench my thirst, oh dear October, and my hunger too, as you bring to me my femme fatale of the foliage, that we might hibernate, as our love springs eternal.
Peace, Love and Rockets,
xox Larry
LOL!! ~ thanx LARRY!!..... yes!!.... I've been to Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany!!..... definitely my favorite time of the year!!....... your femme fatale of the foliage!!
