The Whole Nine Yards

She sets sail, November, riding waves of eddy leaves left from October’s debut. Majestic and proud, she takes firm command, steering the bow of Winter toward Spring.

Linda, I love your personification of the autumn months as sailors on a boat steering toward Spring. "Riding waves of eddy leaves". So clever and original. Best wishes in the contest ~ John
