Notes About The Poem

Rosebud in Ice Storm:

- November -

Daylight change, and go to its winter rest
Night frost drips from the eaves

A cold wind rushed and shoveled his way
Caught your lungs with clear icy air

In this deep cold, it feels just right
Leave the door open to be a part of the season

Human rhythms always searching
The lunar takes its own bath in silver dust

November night will show you: The Milky Way
Keep your senses and soul awake, and enjoy it

Serenity and a noble soul a bit touched by melancoly.The poem may be sung and it reminds me of the warm voice of Harry Belafonte: Hans without you, September comes...I let open the door for that feeling. Beyond the clear icy air, the moon of the poets taking a bath in silver dust, between reality and sweet reveries the noble soul is awaken.

Seasonal poems are favorites of mine and I have written quite a few which makes me even more appreciative of the NOVEMBER poem by you. The attached picture is very impressive too.

That's OK then Anne-Lise. I like to keep a nice 25 degree inside at all times. If there was a mass exodus from the house, I used to shout "Paratroupers" to my children, to remind them they must not dally in the doorway. (Mad mother me).

A beautiful gathering of poetic couplets inspired by the month of November. I could feel the chill in the air and the scent of a fireplace bellowing it's smoke through the chimney in your wonderful words, sadly it is still quite warm where I live and fall is not around the corner. But with your poem I can certainly dream that it is.
