On Day 717 of the Daily Poems our poet Fiona Clark anatomises November in eight artful lines …
November acrostic
November enters slowly in
Opalescent drifting mists, like a sly
Veiled dancer. Violet twilight deepens to
Early dusk and bonfire-smoky darkness.
Murderous crows peck at the last gritty
Blackberries on the ragged bushes
Eyeing life with ebony malevolence,
Ravenously stripping the gibbet-bones of Autumn.
Fiona Clark
