NOVEMBER

Michael Edwards

 

 

NOVEMBER

 

As non-conductors of the day

the heavy curtains drawn across

the leaden windows shuttered still

and yet to greet the languid dawn

where rustling diamond frosted leaves

play kiss and chase on forest floors

and rippling brooks still rush to greet

the churning creaking water mill

before the crusts of winters ice

embrace the seasons change.

    I dunno what year it is, let alone what season it is (no change there then?!). I'm sure it's Christmas next week. Hmmmm. A fine write and pic Michael.

      I don't know either but I do know the time - it's half past kissing time; time to kiss again. And I think that's the start of a another little couplet methinks.

        I knows - its Septober; or Jugust (July/August).

        Michael,
        An absolutely exquisite
        poem illustrated by a
        beautiful painting!
        Excellent!
        November...a special
        meaning for me...my
        Momā€™s birth month!

          Thanks so much Laura and for saving it - did you see my poem on Monday - The Path - written following your kind comments against my one-liner:

          Her tears were fresh and borne of hope like rain that falls in April.

          • LaurašŸŒ»

            No, I didnā€™t! I will
            definitely take a
            look! Thank you!

                Thank you Michael.

                A beautful poem!

                I remember November as a child - Gosh the skies were pitch black and how darkness and winter descended upon us!

                Keep writing
                FineB

                  Thanks FB - actually I'm not sure about November - the harbinger of dark, cold, grey, miserable winter days - at least here in the UK.
