Falling Leaves and Frosty Morns

November comes, we wish to stay its spell

Of falling leaves and frosty morns as well.

Velvet snows of winter cloak the ground,

Erasing summer’s colors and its sounds.

Methinks this time before the Christmas tide

Brings winter’s winds and drives us all inside,

E’en as we give our thanks and eat our fill,

Rejoicing as the fire fights outside’s chill.

Author notes

November is an interesting kind of "tweener" month

This is a beautiful Acrostic, and of my favorite season, too. And rhyming!!! I have a hard time trying to get acrostics to rhyme and flow well at the same time but yours here is superb

Beautifully written, Paul and congratulations on the Bronze... it goes well with season of the poem

Pretty cool This has a nice tight ryhme that flows so smoothly that it made a pleasure to read. Not sure of the 's in fights, though.

"Velvet snows of winter cloak the ground," .. nice imagery

Thank you for entering and good luck in the contest
