November

A swirl of steam wraps 'round
Cinnamon apple caramel cream
Dreams of leaf beds concealing me
Heaps of sweets say November's near

Leaves off trees whip 'round and 'round
Greens fade 'way to orange and sound
Golden brown crunch covers ground
Smokey smells seep through weeds

Snuggling in socks and sweaters now
Bid farewell to summer play
Resign ourselves to shorter days
Songs of Christmas say November's near

    Your poem brings to life the welcome and the good-bye we encounter as the turning continues. Love it!

    November certainly brings with it so much to be thankful for.  Thank you for reminding us to take it all in and revel in every moment.

    Love this! Fall is my favorite season, orange is my favorite color, and snuggling up in an oversized sweater and my fuzzy socks (add some hot coffee) makes me smile.

    Caramel, snuggling and crisp coolness - I love Autumn - Have you ever read, "When will the Snow Trees come?" - it is an autumn lover's book (for children but it so works for me:) - So glad to meet someone who feels about autumn the way I do:)

    I like this because October seems to get all the attention in the fall, but November's a beautiful, yummy month too! Thanks for highlighting my B-day month too! :)
