November Nightfall

NOVEMBER NIGHTFALL Color falling, slow and steady, covers sidewalks, gold already crunching under feet, home trodding. Wind blows tree tops, like heads nodding. Early night-time’s dark disguises draw out moonlight. High it rises! Inside houses, people huddle. Under blankets, pets they cuddle. Sipping mugs of steaming cider, propped on pillows, stuffed with eider, folks then open books of stories: quests, adventures, love, and glories! Used: PS November 25, 2020

Superb images in your poem, Jennifer. I like the way you capture the out of doors + then move to interiors of folks huddling + sharing tales. Well done! Brian

Oh Jennifer, this is so beautiful, cozy! I like how you reached far and wide for images a little unusual... on pillows stuffed with eider. I guess Eider duck feathers make good stuffing?! See, I didn't know that.

Thank you Carol Louise! Yeah, I’ve heard of eider down so I thought it would fit. (But oh how down feathers poke through the fabric!)
