Welcome November

Wick lit candles provided lead the path to the cemetery Event that honor loved ones who have passed and are buried La Catrina walks side by side with kindred spirits marching in sync Crowns of chrysanthemum flowers of the month are pretty in pink Offerings of sweet bread and mezcal, for the afterlife, plenty for all Mexican Dia De Los Muertos, a family’s time for reflection Eyeliner and charcoal shadow, skull-faced paint is our tradition Nudging is “Fall-back” one hour—daylight savings time engages Our Thanksgiving blessings for our annual harvest of ages Veteran’s Day celebrated, bereaved ones in tears Election Day on the first Tuesday of every four years Mascarade balls, ballets, operas, and all that jazz Birthstone rings sparkle with yellowish-orange topaz Eleventh month, the Full Beaver Moon appears in Gemini Rapturous is the moon in November’s blissful sky
