She Calms Me

She sings songs. November, so melodic. "Breathe the season's poise. Inhale, embrace quiet." Festive year's end beckons me. My total demeanor is calm. I see Christmas and new beginnings. 110822PSCtest, A November Nonet. Andrea Dietrich Poetry Soup Syllable Counter. 2P

Dear Curtis, your poem is so beautiful. I love your contentment in November, but yet, how you look forward to turning the page of December to new beginnings. "November, so melodic" - your imagery is so eloquent. Congratulations for your excellent win in Andrea's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

I really like this one a lot. And the way your broke it into stanzas was sure original! Congrats on second place, of which I had only 8 or 9

This piece is very "calming", Curtis. "Breathe the season's poise"...I like that.

Hi, Jim. I greatly admire a compliment like that. I pray that a 'spirit of calm' will sweep across America and the world.
