Chaos reaping beneath the hollow
branches singing to the birds,
waiting for the brisk leaves of autumn—
marshmallow clouds of October
delicate, pearly petals of aster
quiet rustling of squirrels
waiting for the branches to sing

I have always cherished the month of October and want to relay my fond memories in a short poem.
