Notes About The Poem

For the Illusku Poetry Contest     Sponsored by: JCB Brul   1st  Place

Illusku-November

Shade cooling deepens
leaves fall carpeting damp soil;
autumn's hushed moments

Wanted to say. You give me hope. You used simple symbols. Maybe I can do the one I want to do somehow

Thx Duke. A little time off from politics--Far from madding crowd--Saves what I have left of my sanity.

I'm now more grateful for November! Why is 10 afraid? Because 7 ate nine!

Thx Anaya. Without November, autumn would lose its way, no? October would smash rudely into December. Too horrid to ponder! Robert
