See the little heart hanging in the lower right corner?October 2016
Robert Frost has given us so many unforgettable lines of poetry,
including this beguiling invocation to October . . .
"O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow.
Make the day seem to us less brief.
Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you know."
. . . which appears on my
Current Post ~ "Bright Blue October"
