Pleasant Octobers

A Poem by Jolie Blossom
"

This is my first tanka (Japanese poem, like a haiku but with more syllables.) I chose to write it about my favorite season.

"
Fresh autumn apples
Pumpkin patches abound
Leaves changing colors
Crisp cool breezes in the air
Cheers!  A new season is here

I have never written a Tanka. This is perfect. Actually makes me rethink my hatred of losing summer. :)
