October is a month of O’s:
orange gourds, ogres, owlets, oracles,
octopuses, otters and orangutans on
odysseys with outstretched hands,
open bags and open doors,
a candy-fueled overactivity
from overeating. Oh, what fun!
Happy Halloween!

Notes: My kids are planning their costumes. My daughter has moved from princess to goddess. Well, it’s a small step, isn’t it? Have a wonderful (but safe) holiday!
Oh my! You have a goddess in your midst! Odessa? Love the OPoem. You are very clever, Brenda.

LOL Thanks, Resa. My daughter is young enough to still love being female. I hope it lasts. Our culture doesn’t make it easy.

You’re right! If she keeps loving being female, she will be a princess goddess! You can’t beat that!

Unfortunately, I have over-indulged by candy-fueled overactivity, Brenda. What a delightful poem and the pumpkins are beautiful!

I love how you take something (like it were a football in the middle of the field) and “run with it,” Brenda! Oh, how the O’s are such fun words!
Outstretched arms or hands and owlets are my favorites. xo ππΎπ
