Notes About The Poem

The Earth Has Music For Those Who Listen

- November As We Remember -

November,

                                       sucked up by darkness

                               The change of nature takes place

                                         Against the silence,

                                       over the brown carpet

                                      The silence of existence

                                       in timeless winter coat

                                       made of thick brocade

                                       Cold, white as marble

                                       to knees, in the snow

                                           The lamp posts ...

                                       the flame of hope glows

This is such a magnificently creative poem Sunshine Smile I can feel the snow made of thick brocade and I can almost see myself standing knee deep with the lamp posts - love it. Hugs and blessings my friend, back after a two week absence. Hugs and blessings, Jenny

Oh, I bet you get to see the beautiful snowfall every winter, Sunshine. It looks "dreamy" in the photo and your words are beautifully chosen to create exquisite imagery. One of your best and a fave for me, Hon. Hugs, Carolyn

I want the first snow, to brighten things up, but then again I want the nice weather to hold on.
