November Artistry

November Artistry Beneath the artist sculptor’s hand November shapes a changing strand Hidden beauty seen in the trees Now revealed through fallen leaves Twisted branches reach up so high Artwork thrust in autumnal skies. Sunshine hues glow in colors grand And paint each limb in ochre sand Moonlit boughs shaded and set free – In crystal frost celebrity – Alpenglow- mauve shadows’ soft sighs - Icy dawns in pinks winterize. Multi-media fairyland Bright red berries dot this dreamland Bird nests accent this jubilee Frisky winds kiss sculptures with glee November’s masterpieces rise Remembers December’s surprise! 11-22-20 Contest: November Lay Sponsor: William Kekaula For AJ on her 14th Birthday

Anything of yours qualifies as artistry, my friend. These words just smell like November. "Alpenglow- mauve shadows’ soft sighs - Icy dawns in pinks winterize" two of many lovely lines. Well done, and congrats for your win in William's contest! ~ John
