My sweet November,
I will always remember.
All attempts at control, I surrender.
My life was my own.
I was on the throne.
I was as dead as a stone.
Until you entered my life
With your crazy wildlife
Always abounding, full with rife.
Now, I live for one thing.
For now, my heart does sing
Because of the life you bring.
I live only and always for you.
I live to love and cherish you.
I live to bring delight to you.
Because of you my heart foments.
For you, I vow to live in the moment.
Every single day in the moment.
November is all I know,
All I want to know.
I will never ever go.
No, my love.
Remember me this way.
Remember always this day.
And let me now go away.
I never thought I could.
I never thought I would.
I knew I never should.
But you gave the chance to me.
Please, oh please don't you see,
You, my love, are my eternity.
So let me go and let me die.
It's not our time to reason why.
It's our time to say goodbye.
Good bye, my sweet November.
I will always remember.
All attempts at control, I surrender.

Distracting
It was good, but I was very distracted when you kept rhyming one word with itself. That completely detracted from the message of the poem and didn't allow me to fully immerse myself into the poem... -
Great poem, I loved it. You did a wonderful job with the rhyming as some people just make it sound forced instead of well thought through. I like how you focus on the month of november and yet give the idea that its a person. You did a wonderful job
thank you for commenting on my poem!

Oh I see it even more vividly now. The first half is the one whom is living, cherishing, and the italics is they other whom is dying..... I had thought it was the same person, whom, on death, was pleading to the other to let go.
-
The italics is a change in speakers. The woman is speaking the part in italics.

The poem is very romantic, so full of emotions. Yet it is sad that they should say good-bye. I love the fact that you involve two people in the poem, as if it was some sort of conversation: one talking, and the other one replying.
I saw the movie Sweet November. I have to say it was really touching; it even moved me to tears. Yet, I found it astonishong that it actually inspired you to write such a great pieace like this one.
Peace, Enid.
p.s.- you deserve today's applause. -
I have never seen the movie, but you clearly gave me the perspective as if I had. I true love that one is not ready to let go, even in death. I thought your use of italics added to the somber mood for the second half of your poem. It was almost like desperation, as the dying person pleads for their loved one to let go of them. At least that is my interpretation, lol. I could be wrong. Excellent write, that I most enjoyed.

I loved that movie. I thought that it had inspired it just by reading you title. It's a fabulous write. You did the movie justice witht this rather then butchering it. Awesome job.

Never seen the movie Sweet November. . . and I can't really think of any instance where I've read a love poem to a month, but this was good stuff. Keep writing!
