Acrostic For NOVEMBER – November 1, 2011

sitting at my blog
grateful for friends
first snowflakes
gently fall
and rest on the roof

snowflakes (it’s true) – November 12, 2012

earth turned over
in winter fields
yet new green grows –
Christmas wreaths

earth turned over – November 25, 2012

grey beautiful sky
evergreen trees
and short days
soon to be decorated
with holiday lights

two short poems – November 4, 2013

November day
one small flower
in the garden

November day – November 9, 2015

small evergreen branch
apart from its tree
caught by and adding green
to a birch tree branch
with few gold leaves

small evergreen branch – November 10, 2015

snowflakes
floating in the air
separate
together
artists
across places
and time
