When November reigns, subdued sunlight dances in empty rooms across wooden floors, casting muted amber dreams of Autumn’s demise. I revel in November rain, while secretly seeking snow, anxiously awaiting winter’s crisp silent descent on a star strewn ebony night. My mind’s eye twinkles, envisioning a snow hare’s transition from brown to white, faithfully believing this proverbial security blanket will protect him. I need to walk in sparkling moonlit snow, for it quickens the step and heartbeat, renews both body and soul. I love November rains, but dream of December's snow. |

another fine 'write' from this talented author! I am particularly fond of: "When November reigns, subdued sunlight dances in empty rooms across wooden floors, casting muted amber dreams of Autumn’s demise." [the above has a powerful effect on me similar to an Edward Hopper painting!] a MUCH more 'optimistic' perspective on November than I possess! serious, sustained applause!! |

There have been many snows and many rabbits . . . Thank you for reminding me of the smiles that came with them. Enjoyed this. s.a.g. |

Kacy. Snow is one of the most magical substances on Earth. Midnitesun. How are you? Can you still tell? Haven't heard from you in over a month (dreamy smile) SC |

I agree that snow is beautiful! But, since I have to drive out in it, I could do without it. I don't like the cold at all. |

This write is truly magnificent. I'm going to print it out and put it in my office so I can re-read it in advance of the snows that I know will come. Greatly enjoyed!! |

We don't have snow here in Calif. unless we go to the mountain, but when I was a child we lived where it snowed and I loved playing in the snow. Your beautiful poem brought back memories. Ida |

I came back for another 'official' comment on this fine 'write!'... it turned out (unexpectedly) to be the 'inspiration' for my "Winter Redemption" penning tonight... continuing applause for said 'inspiration!' |

How utterly lovely this anticipation of moonlight magic on a winter's wonderland. It's been years since I've seen snow, but I'm still enchanted at the memory and the way sounds of heartbeats and laughter fly over white stillness. ~ KL |
