Oktober, 2022

Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away

Lengthen night and shorten day

Every leaf speaks bliss to me

Fluttering from the autumn tree.

I shall smile when wreaths of snow

Blossom where the rose should grow

I shall sing when night’s decay

Ushers in a drearier day.

- Emily Brontë -


November, 2022

May your stuffing be tasty

May your turkey be plump

May your potatoes and gravy

have nary a lump

May your yams be delicious

May your pies take the prize

And may your Thanksgiving dinner

Stay off your thighs!

December, 2022

Does the last month of the passing year

Have a feeling of regret?

I wonder if December hopes

That for a time we won't forget

When the Happy New Year comes bouncing in

With good luck in its youthful eye

I wonder if December hopes

That we will think of days gone by

- Lenore Hetrick -
