十月,帶著光輝所以慶典多.
鬧過了雙十國慶,
不知還會有什麼新鮮有趣的事?

鶯歌的陶藝嘉年華正上演,
想起,
原來我從來沒有踏入過這個城鎮,
於是,
決定在周日好好地遊戲鶯歌.

一早,
搭上通車已數月的永寧線,
再轉公車直上北二高,
總算來到了鶯歌.

悠閒地走著,
早起的鳥兒果然有蟲吃,
老街上遊客不多,
看到一個不一樣的陶瓷古鎮,
有趣.


後來決定去走鶯歌石步道,
一路上秋天的景緻,
山裡的花草顏色不止多樣,
有剛下台的落葉,有剛上場的紅欒,
這是初秋的樣貌,
四季中最多變的一季,
十月,
正是秋天的主角月份.

看到了鶯歌石,
遇見了擦身而過的登山客,
一聲聲"早"~
拉近了人與人之間的距離,
很開心.

下了山,
搭車免費公車,
到陶瓷博物館參觀,
想看看古街的人潮,
於是又到古街裡轉了一圈,
在人群中穿梭,
已沒有在山間親切的問候,
也少了人與人之間的互動,
覺得無力了,
轉身就回台北了.

火車上,
突然想起九月讀的一首詩-- A Calendar of Sonnets: October
正好描寫了這一天的心情...

嘉年華的月份,
大自然讓地球狂野著,
一季的的歡愉全在這一天度過了~


A Calendar of Sonnets: October

The month of carnival of all the year,
When Nature lets the wild earth go its way,
And spend whole seasons on a single day.
The spring-time holds her white and purple dear;
October, lavish, flaunts them far and near;
The summer charily her reds doth lay
Like jewels on her costliest array;
October, scornful, burns them on a bier.
The winter hoards his pearls of frost in sign
Of kingdom: whiter pearls than winter knew,
Oar empress wore, in Egypt's ancient line,
October, feasting 'neath her dome of blue,
Drinks at a single draught, slow filtered through
Sunshiny air, as in a tingling wine!
