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





for Brian Strand's contest 
1st place win

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?
