November's Nuance

the leaves float gently gather at the whim of a breeze …envy the geese a November rose bows to shivering applause …one last curtain call a lone Cardinal mocks the fiery Maple …in motionless mime a soft snow hushes the sound of nature snoring …on a silent night the cat pounces into the billowing leaves …a feline frolic an old man rakes leaves remembering younger days …. the children wait John G.

November delight in your most creative lines and innovative formatting John. I always look forward to the innovation in your poems. Love the depth and subtle contrast of age and youth in the last stanza - truly artfully nuanced. Thank you for this inspiring late autumn, sable gem!

Thanks for stopping to read and comment Sam. These are just reflections on walking in the city as the leaves fall and the wind makes them dance.
