October....Days....Of Summer Poem by James B. Earley

May angst and tears of teenage years
...Know joy from way back yonder
Bathe in the Russian River's warmth
....October....days...of summer

Throughout the day and evenings too
.....Absent...a coat.....nor quiver
Of all the months October's dearest
....Along....the Russian...River

Choose a lovely campground near
And should there come the notion
.....Route 116...though serpentine
Westward....yields....the ocean

Roam the beach....despite the years
Romance couldn't be more relevant
Youth...long past but memories last
...October days....benevolent

Thus angst and tears of teenage years
.....Find joy.....from way back yonder
Cling fast...to Russian River's...warmth
...Those...October days....of summer
