October Sunrise - -- a Poem for Friday Writings and for dVerse Quadrille


        My October 


My October began with sunrise 
Sunrise over Houston clear that day
Looking come Halloween at the end
The witch riding her broom job to do
Brushing cobwebs dust free makes them shine
One day past my Birthday, old this year
Calendar changed Ninety instances

Jim, am I understanding this correctly that you just had your 90th birthday? If so, Happy 90th! I'm watching a netflix series right now that is studying longevity and they interview people who are now approaching year 100 and learning their secrets. Maybe they should interview you? :)

Well, happy birthday! I am happy for you. My dad is 91 and although he is healthy he doesn't have his mind anymore. Keep writing....

Dear Jim, ninety is a huge accomplishment! Huge. I am feeling nervous, tested positive for Covid earlier today. Not surprising as I just returned from four days out of town, and airplane rides. so far, nothing horrible just a scratchy throat and a very runny nose. Probably began with both yesterday.

Have a very Happy Birthday, dear Jim! How wonderfully well you are doing; I hadn't realised you were quite so magnificently Senior. I enjoyed your quadrille, and also both of the contrasting photos.

Hi Jim! Feeling a bit better today and realizing I am going to go stir crazy inside for five days! Hoping I test negative soon. Thanks for your kind words.
