November's Leafless Repose

October is crowned with glory.
She is touched with Heaven’s glow.
The seasons declare her rise to glory
Her majestic laurel-leafed crown in
magnificent display, with jeweled leaves adorned.

O northern wind, command her before thee to bow, and
cast forth her golden crown. 
Lay her upon forest floors of crushed velvet brown.   
Her reign deposed she now lies in November’s leafless repose

Beautiful verse Lori, You slide into november with such subtle grace and the quietness of the last 2 lines is so satisfying.

WOW, Lori, this is so deserving of first place. WAS this an oldie? That would explain it maybe getting erased. But here it is. Did you repost it right before he judged it?

Thank you Andrea for your kind comment. My poem was new for Brians contest I don't know what happened but some how it along with my comments were all gone. I reposted it after it had been judged. Life's full of Mystries! LOL Thanks again---Lori
