Morning opens like a gold flower,
Stirs & quivers singingly at the feet of the day;
Shoots transparent light into a moving mist
That wrists spirally
Like a butterfly at play.
–Elsa Gidlow (1898–1986)

The apples sputtered in a row,
And, close at hand the basket stood
With nuts from brown October’s wood.
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–92)

When breezes are soft & skies are fair,
I steal an hour from study & care,
And hie me away to the woodland scene,
Where wanders the stream with the waters of green.
–William Cullen Bryant, American poet (1794–1878)

As L.M. Montgomery wrote, "I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers."

Numerous trees in varying brilliant shades of red, orange, yellow, and green are reflected in a still lake along with a small white dock.

Why does everyone force introverts to step out of their comfort zone & nobody forces extroverts to shut up for a little while?
