"October's moon" by Suzi Poland

“As clocks are changed and days get longer,

flags are flown and blues get lighter.

The full moon comes and spring rains fall

and frogs emit their nightly call.

The HSC and Halloween,

lighter frocks and some suncream.

But still it’s not the summer yet.

Heat on dusk and white ant clouds,

BBQs and lawn mowers loud.

All this and more is yet to come

so too the deafening cicada’s drum.”
