october floated in
/october floated in on a falling leaf
lifting and twirling and dancing down
still green with envy for the summer sun t
he heavy grey sky reminded her of the sea and the way the tide rolls in on a stormy day
making frothy white faces as it sings
october spun madly on her little green leaf f
rom the tippy-top of the tallest tree she watched as the bumpy brown ground braced for her fall
she sighed but wait!
a golden mum stood between buckling tree roots
perhaps her new home won't be so bad after all
