Winter Woe

N o more splishy splashy leaves coloring the trees

O r tank tops and flip flops, unless you want to freeze

V ariations of winter; rain, hail, sleet, and snow

E nvelope the city everywhere you go

M emories of sunshine slowly start to fade

B ullied by the cold chill that now controls the days

E ven as you think that things could not get worse

R eality reminds us of next month's December curse...

Author notes

acrostic
Your poem should be 8 lines only, and describe the month of November. Rhyming not required, but it would be neat if you could pull it off. Basically put, 'what does November' mean to you?

Not fond of the month, because I loathe the season...

    this is a snippet of november in georgia. the weather is a little bi-polar. it cant decide whether it wants to stay fall a little bit longer, or head full throttle into winter. i like the internal rhyme, and didnt even realize it was an acrostic, until i opened my eyes and payed attention.

    My November has been rather warm.... t-shirt weather... which makes me scared for what winter is going to dump on us.

    Nice ryhme and internal flow in this acrostic. You've described the month rather nicely...drab weather and all.

    Thank you for entering and good luck in the contest.

    Brilliant!

    Rhyme, meter & flow all rolled into an acrostic. I couldn't agree more about December's curse.
    Awesome write. G'luck in the contest
