Verse for late October

            It seems like day 60 should be significant, given this 60th year/60,000 word challenge. Nah. Just another day along the way. Here’s a bit of verse, inspired by the day:
 
            Autumn lingers, slowing down;
            Fields of gold turn muted brown.
            Vibrant leaves are juxtaposed
            with branches barren and exposed.
 
            A multi-colored leafy spread
            Adorns the pathways that I tread.
            October fades to days of frost
            When all is silvery embossed.
