a world of octobers
when i grew up
i read many books,
always saw pieces
of myself in each one;
but i think i saw myself most
in anne of anne of green gables:
a spirited girl who always spoke
her mind—
grateful for a world she lived in
having octobers,
and october has always been
my favorite month and autumn my
favorite season;
there’s just something beautiful about
autumn, i’ve seen her described as a second
spring;
it is here where i grow into my truest self
finding comfort in the coziness of
sweaters and long skirts and the warmth
of the sun that doesn’t scorch like summer.
