Ode to October



By Jason Jones

School starts in September

They say it's fall, but it's not

New classes, new faces, new everything

Will I make it to October? Maybe

 

Memorize scores of names for faces

Sisters and brothers from years gone by

Meeting and teaching and surviving

Have we cleared September? Not yet

 

Clouds roll in and rain comes, too

Temperatures fall and moods improve

Think about hoodies or even light jackets

September is leaving, and true fall is near

 

Halloween decorations pop at the office

Pumpkin cookies and apple cider appear

That first paycheck in months finally arrives

It's October, my friend. You made it
