Consolations of October

I welcome the consolations of October, Sighs of the leaves floating gently down, Breezes saying warm days may still come Before the blowing cold of old November, Portends the end of another good year.

Love the month of October not so November, trees completely bare and lots of depressing rain. Good luck in the contest Milton. Tom

Thank you so much, Tom. I'm a wordy person, so I don't do so well with these short forms.

"the blowing cold of old November" suggests it is a carryover, which made me smile.
