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
