October has arrived and, with it, so many familiar sounds and sights.

Leaves of red and gold and orange colour the landscape. They crunch under our feet after they fall.
It is a beautiful month, one that is the focus of an IGWRT personification prompt for poets.
This little poem is my take on the October prompt.
October speaks
I am
with leaves so pretty
I sing
a swan song for summer
I dress
the ground for winter
I am
October

Best to all in this wonderful month!
