November Acrostic

Notice how the morning’s have grown cold,
Overnight November shooed away their red and gold.
Venus offered nothing to a bruised and paling sky, as
Embers of the seasons past begin to fall and die.
More glory than the spring, a colour-scape so tender
Beauty and the beast?, proclaim it’s annual agenda
Express the wide world over, the season, (and it must,)
Relentlessly surrender, earth-to-earth and dust to dust.

    Outstanding

    I enjoyed reading this. The imagery was well-chosen and thoughtful- I loved:
    a bruised and paling sky
    You also gave a sense of the passing of the year of the seasons changing relentlessly- whether we are ready for the changes or not. The poem flows effortlessly and the rhyme was strong to. Over all
    an excellent poem. Thank you for posting.

    the fireworks seems like the dischord of the world, and relentless frictions, and the fireworks, hopefully, in world terms will be a damp squib, but not in this. Lovely job,

    Nice

    November has never sounded so beautiful as it marks here the beginning of a winter. Life surrendering to the "end" season. A soft, reflective write and full of delicate imagery...alby
