November Nuances

November breezes in with style Autumn zephyr carries a smile Multihued leaves, they float around Before dancing down to the ground Hope flames high on smoky bonfire Melting out hatred's dark desire November dreams make it worthwhile Autumn rakes up the leaves that pile Gold and bronze and russet abound Chromatic colours sure astound Love burns in our humble heart's pyre Kindling faith when we most require November knows Winter's hostile Therefore it lets Autumn compile Various patterns on leaf mound Dazzling the eyes, while we're spellbound Life plays under God, the dyer Before ceding to snowy mire. 10.29.2020 Checked with www.howmanysyllables.com For William Kekaula's "Lay November" contest

Over here november brings cold, wet and dark nights after the clocks change, by now the trees are bare, a real gloomy month. Roll on spring, well written Jo. Tom

You did fantastic with the form. I could only do two stanzas because I did not have enough good rhymes with the words I used (not posted yet) this should be a sure win.
