Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

November Rolls, Aka, a November Rose

November Rolls

(Matching Rhyming Scheme of aabbcc per stanza...)

(a) Cascading steps my day will start,
(a) pictures abound parades by heart,
(b) sprung to brightness startle on course,
(b) each day remembered gifts the source,
(c) hop amid blossom hues cool breeze,
(c) lengthy well-mannered gist to seize.

(a) Sun aged life we patterned eyes chart,
(a) spews golden way smooth work of art,
(b) till such realms-edge frequent divorce,
(b) air Harvest moon inspires white horse,
(c) dawdle, impaled leaves clear appease,
(c) crumpled neath feet, flit time at ease.

(a) Northern brisk befell trails winds dart,
(a) as powdered field draped milk impart,
(b) thy countenance embrace the coarse,
(b) midst pending views November force,
(c) fitted well clothed this cloudy squeeze,
(c) terms sway o'er life till wintry's freeze.

(...and so on...)
