After a summer
Filled with such heat
Plenty of rain
Falling down on repeat.
Finally things
Are cooling a bit
Late in October
I can’t quite believe it.
Last week we had records,
23 degree days.
As the Arctic ice melted
Some loved the hot days.
While crops over-ripened
And sea levels rose,
The extended hot summer
Meant many dipping their toes.
Yet still I am worried
That it is only the start
Soon Christmas will be boiling
Us baking like tarts.
So thank you October
For finally coming through
With much cooler weather
I can start feeling blue.

Thank you for taking the time to read my poem. Check out my That Weekend Feeling poem if you like this one. Also, perhaps consider following my little blog for similar future content.
We had a much warmer than usual September and early October this year. In fact, we have seen very little colour change on our trees, mainly because we haven’t had an early frost. It’s unheard of to be in the middle of October with no frost. Sigh.
Mum and I are heading to England on Wednesday to visit my sister. Having a hard time figuring out what to pack. LOL
It has finally cooled here. Windy and wet. Enjoy your trip.
Nice poem, Jamie.
Thank you.
You’re welcome.
Wonderfully written.
Thank you.
The fall coming did feel like a much needed relief this year. ❤️
