Novemberness Poem by Sandra Fowler

Novemberness

Rating: 4.8


Snowflakes create mosaics of moonlace.
They paint fantastic shadows on the glass.
A word or two accents the falling day.
Dusk flickers like a magic picture light.

The mood is older than Methuselah,
As ageless as a speech by Robert Byrd.
Time captures him in his Novemberness,
Eternal as the Appalachian frost.

For the Senator whose love of poetry is legendary.

Will got it right - that goes without saying. Your first line I will carry in my heart - it is mesmorising. t x

Crystal-clear images of November, and a moving tribute to a great orator and public servant. Senator Byrd is the conscience of the Senate, as November is the conscience of the year, bringing back the bare bones of nature and humankind. Some public servants, like some autumn friends, are irreplaceable.
