Here We Are, Halfway through November

    Here we are, halfway through November
       What happened to July, August and September

    Looking forward to the ‘big three holidays’
       Who remembers July 4th’s barbecue blaze

    Sweltering summer long forgotten
       Cool days of Autumn now begotten

    Time never pauses; it simply hurries on
       Look back too long ~ the future’s come and gone

Hilda Greenhough Date: 11/17/2024 8:53:00 PM Yes. And adventure in every season. Yet, November tires me. Your poem is very descriptive of November. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 11/17/2024 9:00:00 PM Me, too, Hilda... November is a shock to the system, esp. with that awful time change! Seems as if the day is over before it even gets started! ~ Here's to sunshine and flowers, Gershon
