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!

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 🍁🌾🍂
