No. 3 November Night

Also written fall 2006

November Night

Fallen leaves of trees gone bare
Calls of geese through cold crisp air
Woolen socks and scarves wound tight
Against the cold November night

Grey clouds dim the evening sky
Around the door the wind does sigh
Through windowpane the lamp glows bright
Against the cold November night

Icy rain filled blustery days
Twilight full of moonlit haze
Apple cider; warm delight
Against the cold November night

Frost lies thick on field and plow
Owls hoot 'neath the fir tree's bough
Hearth fires burn with amber light
Against the cold November night
