November Sidewalks

November sidewalks unsightly grow
   Leaves mingling, sloppy with slush and snow
Where dandelions bloomed between cement cracks
   Now pray bugs that warmth come back

We are still in "warm country" here today, a high of fifty-six! I am wanting some snow.

I'll trade all the snow we have left for 5 degrees. What say you?! :) gw

Praying bugs are great! Poor little things. I hope the god of bugs will be merciful to them. Perfectly penned, Wolf.

Shivering in that November chill, perhaps the leaves are coverlets for them there bugs.

The bugs aren't the only ones praying

Hi Gershon, You painted a vivid picture of what a " November" sidewalk looks like in your neck of the woods. Poor bugs! I enjoyed the read my friend:-) Alexis

Those bugs will just have 'toughen up!.' LOL. Thanks, Alexis. Cheers, Gershon
