This is a reposting of last year's poem... when October was only October. In an election years, plus busted banks, and empty gas tanks, it may ring hollow, but it is well meaning.
The Quiet That Is October
Speaking of October which we weren't
nothing really significant is said about
the first day being a dubious one as
the birthday of Jimmy Who Carter
October is so quiet many believe it is
still September or early November
An entire month seems to fade away as
its highest point releases quarterly reports
A month with few significant birthdays
and only a dozen people know about
Columbus Day on the 8th and the 16th as
Boss's Day or the United Nations claims
the 24th day and with a whole week to go
before a noisy Halloween then November
Bill, my friend, I think you might be a little hard on October.
I've found that October is a great month at the Jersey shore.
Now I hope I haven't jinxed it for this year. -gene.
Perhaps "..Quiet Storm" will help rekindle old flames buried and long forgotten or express the love so deeply locked inside of your soul longing to be released.
Regardless of where you may be found in love this beautiful masterpiece can be
With a birthday in this month
Makes me stop and value just how much
Love in Family counts!

October is my favorite month of the year. I notice.
