November Ring down this gaudy curtain This kitschy finale wearies me Away with your rainbow leaves And leave the stage November’s creeping tread Gentle in the coming Welcome pall bearer, do your duty Lay to rest the dying days Spare the Hawthorn berries On their tangled tresses Give them leave to linger For a little while Let the feather brethren Search for warmer climes Leaving the cooling skies To the wanderers wing Let loose the north wind Besom brush the autumn clutter Make ready the wetlands For the sleeping time |

Now that November is in the 'back-pocket', we slip-slide our way through December here in the deep South with the greatest of ease. My Hummingbirds have however, followed the trail outlined in your fine poetry as mentioned here: quote: The most prominent of your "wanderers" right now are leaving 'contrails' over me. I think they're making me twitch a bit. 88's friend She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

Ahhh . . . As Ticklefingers said, the "deep south" experience with November is an easy sort of slide. But surly, even here, hard winter is ready to claim us. My northern friend laugh at me when I complain of the cold when the temperature plummets to forty-five. (It was forty this morning) I laugh with hilarity when they are snow-bound and cannot even leave the house. ~ My inner world is my paradise and I am its keeper ~ |
