Indian Summer
by Emily Dickinson
These are the days when birds come back,
A very few, a bird or two,
To take a backward look.
These are the days when skies put on
The old, old sophistries of June, —
A blue and gold mistake.
Oh, fraud that cannot cheat the bee,
Almost thy plausibility
Induces my belief,
Till ranks of seed their witness bear,
And softly through the altered air
Hurries a timid leaf!
Oh, sacrament of summer days,
Oh, last communion in the haze,
Permit a child to join,
Thy sacred emblems to partake,
Thy consecrated bread to break,
Taste thine immortal wine!
Pictures for October
I went for a walk over the fields today. There was much mud from where the cows had been (you know, that gloppy cow-hooves kind), but there was also this sort of thing.
Prosfic for October
I read an October-themed story! Okay, I read it yesterday and forgot to add it, cos it was on my Kobo, but... highly recommended! This is Halloween by Magenta Blue
...and the Lads!
Something a bit autumn-y about this one, perhaps...?
