October has arrived

October has arrived with falling leavesSwirling and dancing in the autumn breezeListen to the wind risingColourful leaves flyingThe beautiful Oak Tree has lost her crown. Misty mornings start the dayDarker evenings have creeped on usWith ghostly happening of HalloweenHedgehogs and field mice scattering aroundTo the sound of ploughing nearby. They look for their harvest of acorns and berriesThey fill their tummies and take some home-As Winter is drawing nearWitches oil their broomsCover them with cobwebs and spiders. Ravens in the Tower of LondonFlying in all directions as skies get darker by the minuteOctober is magical with its vibrant colours and hazy sunEnd of the long hot summerIn Autumn the nature slumber to renew.
