November exhales her chilly breath,
blowing hard, a prelude to December’s icy grip.
Teasingly, she blends with fall’s sunshine and warmth,
then turns her cheek away,
not to be kissed by summer’s romantic
days or autumn’s glowing colors.
Full of promise, November whispers
through corn fields, those sleeping children in their beds
of dry husks.
November’s winds blow across the land,
scattering leaves, making way for
December’s snowy blanket.
Harvests of gold, plates full of holiday cheer,
She smiles on families gathered together
celebrating her bounty and grace.
Queen of Thanksgiving and love,
November exits for winter’s frigid smile,
Dressed in a gown of ice and snow.
I thoroughly enjoyed your descriptive poem. Thank you.
Thank you Lori! I love November, a prelude to her sister, December!
You transport your readers, Donna, a true talent.
I couldn’t help but laugh about
“…winter’s frigid smile,
Dressed in a gown of ice and snow.”
Sounds like August here in Sweden where I now live. 🙂
Sweden? Wow, I can just imagine how cold August must be! I’ll have to write a special poem about Frigid August! Thank you, Tricia!

Donna, you have an amazing gift to describe and interpret everything so eloquently. Words that are candy to the ear as paint is to the eye.
Thank you, Barbara! You should know! You’re a terrific artist. Your canvas is a different one than mine, but it’s still art, any way you look at it. I love candy.
Beautiful poem, Donna!
Anne, we obviously both have sentiments on beautiful fall! Thank you!!!
