Irresistible is lure of her beauty.
backstory: I don’t need to say much about October, she speaks for herself. But I’ll raise a glass, not to her beauty but because she loved me before I was born.

Cheers to October and all her babies!

Am an October baby 🙂
Happy Birthday, to you! 🙂
I am an October baby too !
Cheers, and hope you the best of the month! 🙂
My husband, father-in-law, and son are all October babies.
Oh, wow! This must be a month of celebrations, in your family. Have fun with all those October babies. 🙂
Lovely!
Thank you!
The photograph, beautifully captured. October must be a wonderful month. 🙂
Thank you. And yes October is a wonderful month. 🙂
There are two October babies in my family and both are special, so I applaud your poem!
Yay to your special October babies. Thanks Bev!
How beautiful, Khaya. I love the photo and the quote. Happy Birthday!
Thanks my friend, I appreciate. <3
And I join your October cheer. Because she loved you before she was born. And because she sings so brightly in my heart.
Thank you for joining, Maga. The more, the merrier for October’s song.
I have finally caught up! October here in my part of the northwest is not as colorful as New England, but has a subtle beauty all her own. I join you in your appreciation of this month and all she gives to us.
Thank you for reading, Lavinia. And welcome to the celebration and appreciation of October. 🙂 It is a bountiful month that offers many gifts. Enjoy the season!
This is exquisite … three of our four children were born in October ‘loved by October before she knew they were born.’
Three October babies! You have a home full of charm. 🙂 Enjoy the season!
Such a beautiful phrase: “she loved me before I was born”…we share the same birth month, yes, but I’m thinking perhaps there’s an allusion to your mother in this phrase as well?
Love your depth of prose, Khaya
Thank you so much, Laura. And what a wonderful thing to share this special month with some members of my writing community! That’s just one of the ways October loves me. 🙂 Yes, my mother is one of the two people (my father as well) I know for sure, loved me before I was born. So, there’s an allusion to both.
Here’s to October. And here’s to you!
Much appreciated, Christina. Thank you!
