October
(Acrostic)
Once a year fall
Comes
To paint the
leaves
Orange,
Brown,
Every once in a
while
Red and yellow
to finish the masterpiece.

An Autumnal Palette
Once a year when
her time comes,
Lady Autumn
changes nature’s gown
To match with
Persephone’s mixed feelings
Between enjoying
life on the surface with her mother
And having to
return underground
To her husband’s
dark gloomy realm.
Green is the
reminder of her connection with nature,
Red is the
goddess’ love for Hades,
Orange is her
impatience to return to the surface,
Purple are the
chrysanthemums in Demeter’s garden,
Brown is the
wisdom she gained after the horrible event,
Yellow is the
happiness that mother and daughter
Feel when they
are reunited in the season of rebirth.

What’s Behind The Wall?
Is the question
the archeologist asked himself
When he reached
the hidden temple.
As he thought of
ways to break it,
An invisible
force is leafing through his soul
Checking to see
if his intentions were good or bad.
Tears of shame
ran down the man’s cheeks
Thinking about
the act he has to commit
To save the lives
of the innocent held captive
In the tyrant’s
dark underground rooms.
“Break the wall,
take the valuables
And bring them
to me before the fall equinox
Or you’ll never
see your loved ones again,”
Were the words
echoing in his mind.
He was about to
give up and find another way
When he suddenly
felt something in his hand.
He noticed a
medallion with the following message
Engraved on it:
“Willpower and
determination can break
Any wall that
blocks your way.”
