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.

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.

Actually not, I can only imagine how beautiful it would be. Here, we have only Summer, Monsoon and Winter (with no snow)
