My 30th Leaf
Got Thee from flower
Yellow in color
Décor funeral
Until for burial
Leaf “chrysantemunm”
Handled by nephew
With some flowers few
For cousin who died
While some people cried
With neighbors and kin
Novem. Twenty-One
So hot was the sun
Three o'clock about
Requiem mass we're out
While slowly walking
Near the entrance way
Where tombs nearby lay
Dumarao graveyard
Sarcophagus hard
Towards our clan's graves
Bye Toto Eldie!
No more we see thee
Hope meet you again
There up the heaven
Farewell, my cousin.

welcome November
the "novem" seven plus two
cold weather moves in

Novem: Affects IX in 1973
Nine college students record music
at some sheltered hideaway place.
They're killed in a van mishap,
on the way back to school.
Yond thirty-one years,
their songs recalled.
Sometimes fame
comes too
late.

Novem-
ber (brr, brrr!)
"New blankets" drive
is philanthropic! :)
Please, if you get the chance:
warm up one chilly person...
just ten bucks can get a good deal
on a big, new, cozy, warm blanket! :D

Everything has an end which adds another beginning
Novem- the nine, now it has been eleven
Numeric big to small in functioning share
It's transitional rainy monsoon to cold winter
Neither damp nor dry, it's colder but not harsh
It's thru the red wine to pale gray, golden brown to yellow nature
Symbolically it's a representative of life's final stage
In the shadow of wintry frost it scrambles the life's stamina
Sound saints to souls creative the born one is
Live in mind to mind the hard working ideas
Queen of all fall flowers- the chrysanthemum leads it
Signifies everything from a life to death! Oh
Opening the doors of eternities it reminds the short-day life
It's natural bloom period in the late summer, early winter
It's sunbathing love life for growing hard and revive better

Kissing her gently a dayspring, Daphne, in streams of light....
Chromatic chiffon curtains; their greating be this dawn ? Ornamental
Stitchery time's storybook soft, lashes fluttering while she dreams so, lovely
Tranquillity greeting his dawn silk cocoons; baroque, love's palette panacea's brush
A picture's window framing these strokes oscilloscope, paschal tides ? Scholastic waves
Embracing her shores palatial's mistress; free verse chrysanthemums, with gossamer wings
Belles-lettres, this beautiful damsel ? Novem she sleeps cascading locks a prophetess; silverish hues.
