November Rain November comes calling at dawn's twilight window. The carpet of rainbow leaves, astonishing Art, still shines in the cold rain around the deep green Holly. Grey clouds and mist dance to the tune of a sad Wintry wind, through bare-bone trees,’ an ominous prophecy of all thing to come. A thousand tiny, suffering things are seen no more. Where must they go? These empty words fall and gather at the feet of this long-dead oak, to mingle with the lonely, chilling dreams and memories of her love. --- b. e. adams (11/10/2015) |

"a sad Wintry wind, through bare-bone trees,’ an ominous prophecy of all thing to come." These five lines ripped through the poem and gave it not mere substance, but immeasurable life among the dead. For even the trees are sans leaves, their limbs bare, still there is life there. A life that understands the waiting game until spring! I loved this, Bruce! ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Thanks, JP ! The inexorable coming of Winter seems to be ever more Chekovian for me these days (and harder to tolerate) ... |

Thank you, Margherita! November and February are the cruelest months (at least for me) ... |
