An October Day

The sweet scent of grass mowed for silage or hay
Wafting in the breeze of this mild October day
The weather though not very warm is windy and bright
With sporadic spells of mild Spring sunlight
The birds who do sing every day of the year
The warblings of the magpies melodious and clear
And birds from once seen and once heard one could never get wrong
The golden billed blackbirds competing in song
In these times of Climate Change weather patterns are strange
Yesterday it was warm today there is a cool change
Yet after the recent rain the parks and paddocks looking green
And wildflowers in all colours in abundance to be seen
On a weather forecast high for the day of eighteen degrees
The pleasant aroma of freshly mowed grass is wafting in the breeze.
