October

is the round month,

the cool, harvest moon month,

the golden-yellow foliage month,

the spooky ghosts and goblins month,

the orange and brown and ochre month,

the hooting owls on fence posts month,

the foggy woods and bales of hay and

crunching-in-the-leaves month,

the followed-by-November month,

the jolly Jack o’Lantern month,

the month of Halloween.
