welcome october!

Fall, leaves, Fall

Emily Bronte

Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;

Lengthen night and shorten day;

Every leaf speaks bliss to me

Fluttering from the autumn tree.

I shall smile when wreaths of snow

Blossom where the rose should grow;

I shall sing when night’s decay

Ushers in a drearier day.

The Lone Katydid

Martin. J Elster

I vividly remember,

on the evening when September

had slid into October,

the air as cold and sober

as The Dipper’s glittering light,

from somewhere high amid

an oak, a katydid

spoke from a dying leaf:

“Autumn is a thief!

With a single wintry gust

it turned my kin to dust.  

Why do I rattle on

when all of them are gone,

when I’ll soon be toothsome prey

for some bat, or when the bite

of another cold snap brings

icy shackles to my wings?”

The insect’s doleful tones

seemed to quiver all my bones.

What could you tell a bug

to soothe it? With a shrug,

I continued on my way

down that trail as dim and shady

as a blackbird’s dusky hue,

and wondered if that katy did

or didn’t have a clue

that he had been listened to.

this energy drink tastes like bubblegum

on the agenda for today:
do my sociology readings/take chapter notes/take the quiz
local pagan group
try not to have a panic attack?
