Poem for November 1st

Thank you, Jacqueline, for the kind invitation to be a part of this conversation.
My husband Stan had surgery, 4 bypasses of left artery near the heart, four weeks ago.
He is doing well.

Poem for November 1st

Rarely have I been
So grateful for
November
With its almost bare trees
Brown limbs stretching
Against the dark morning
Of shortening days
But this year
November feels a lot like
Fresh air deep breath
The hopeful season of
Sunshine green buds
Buttercup rising
Robin appearing
Singing at daybreak as
Life begins again. . .

Thanksgiving.

Christie, 2010
