November Snapshots

Cold huddled sparrows Wear that WTF look A squirrel drags his tail Through icy puddles A rat hunkers down Behind the barrels Worms wiggle dance In November’s no-fly zone A wet Owl whispers “Phew” School bus children Defy the rain drops A grouchy dog waits For the mailman An old woman’s scowl Frightens the wind

Your vantage point is a look at November from the wrong side of the tracks. Beyond tree lined streets of old money houses. Not one fragrant and white washed where people whisper their gossip. I’d much prefer the barking dog and WTF look of huddled squirrels. Ovation to you, John.

No sophisticated response from me just that I so want to see those sparrows - love the vibes coming from this one. Atmospheric and a nice stroll through your imagery. Enjoyed!
