November Blaze

And with the forged visage of thunder's sword
Her sentry slays monsters of gray
Freeing astral blooms to spark and blaze
Across the brief November sky.

Michelle, You know there's something special in this poem's skies. 'Freeing astral blooms to spark and blaze' One of the best times to skydive for the views in Autumn. Your lines 'astral blooms to spark and blaze' -reminded me again. -Richard

Still hoping against hope for some sunshine here like we had today: Just perfect! Mid 70's temps, low humidity, gentle breeze, a touch of Autumn heading into the evening. Ahhhhhh. November can wait... Oh, was I supposed to get off my ego-trip and comment on your poem?! lol. It's really terrific, except I'm trying to stay blue and billowy white! Smiles, Gershon
