Grace of November (A Poem)

Rolly: Thank you. Saw that you have shared it on FB. That means a lot. I also enjoyed reading your comments.

Hugs back from the sky.

Hi CrisSp...

Thoughtful words to ponder and a subject I think most people are touched by. I equate the seasons we face as being change, yes it is sad to see the beauties of summer falling away. Yet the earth does need its rest and fall is the first signs that rest.

We can always look forward to the spring and the wonder of nature at her finest. It too can fill our hearts for its bounty. Leaves me to ponder the return of what nature has in store for us.

Hugs as always my friend... sending much love

Rolly

amen

LOVELY!!!! sharing...

I can understand that feeling, it will all be well in a few weeks! Beautiful poem. Thank you for sharing this, voted up and sharing!

This is a lovely piece!

Dear Cris ~ Could it be a touch of seasonal affective disorder (S.A.D.) can bring on the gloom when the skies turn gray, the chill in the air waiting for snow, and the shorter day turn a smile into a frown? Blessings, Debby

Haze and gloom also allow one to look forward to what is on the other side of the coin. Your sentiments are well written and clear.

Lovely Poem - It will soon be spring and the sun will shine brightly on you. Meanwhile, enjoy this season of festivity. :-)

Another year that ends soon. November the mintha taht brings leaves and shades of a full moon, in cold and windy weather. Great words and marvellous inspiration with a gloomy flair, but great!

im proud of u Crissp!

Enjoy your poem. Very heartfelt and true we all have gloomy days once in a while.

I fell in love once in november

and the grey mists

became a color of joy

Yet although that love lasted not

I still feel novembers need to

toy

It is a cruel and evil month

for sure and reminds me well

of her

But like all the novembers

this one will pass as well

of that we can be sure

Your poem is way cooler !+++++++

Hi CrisSp

A beautiful and insightful poem.

"Unknowns are put in life for a reason." We may not understand them and I don't know if we are meant to. Maybe we are just to accept it is part of life.

Have a great week :)

I like the way you compared your saddening moods to the seasonal changes of November. I am not a cold-weather person so I can't wait for the return of spring and summer!

You've just echoed what I'm thinking. Life isn't always fair...and it indeed looks hazy sometimes. But at least the gloom doesn't last all the time, and with every new obstacle comes new hope. That's what we look forward to! Thanks for sharing, and I share too!

You have captured the mood of November really well in this poem CrisSp. Best wishes to you in these dark months, and here's to a speedy return to sunny Spring evenings:-))

Just discovered your writing on a comment left on a hawaiiano's hub. This is great and fits perfectly with this windy rainy November Oregon day.

November is alright with me because it has you (and your fabulous writing) in it - and for that mattter - the rest of the 11 months with you ain't bad either !!!!! lol

Sending you warm wishes and good thoughts from lake erie time ontario 4:12 pm although I consider November - a gateway month to winter - as April to me - is a gateway month to spring - and your hallowed hubspace is just a gateway to more great writing

And December, January, February, and March! You've described all of them for me with a lovely poem, but I think you express my feelings of going into this period beautifully. I just don't like cold weather. Voted up.

I love the pictures, I love winters but that might be because we have summer all year round. :P

Wonderful Poem...Nice work!

Voted up and beautiful. Wonderful poem and great video. With every season there is some beauty but I agree out November here is certain turning out to be dark and gloomy and rainy.

I like the parallel mood shared by the season, the poem, and the poet.

In the autumn of my life, I wax nostalgic for the "small kid" days in Hawai'i. Ah, how fleet of foot is Father Time!

Thanks for sharing, CrisSP! You've got literary range, and your writing shows it!

Absolutely! This is why Arlene and I did a lot of dancing during this time. And, as you will find out, your poem become truer with the passing of years,

Such beautiful pictures to accompany a deeply felt poem. I love your choice of words you use to express your truth. If you were here I would give you a big warm hug! Great job!

Ah My favorite little black dress writer , and she gets the blues ! It will pass Chris don't let um get you ! Think sun , sea , sand , warm ! We won't let the blues win ! Awesome write !......:-}

Hi Crissp love this. The most depressing month to me is January. Waiting for spring to come already! Great write.

Great poem. Tackling these winter blues is an exhausting task. You have a wonderful way of expressing it! Thanks for sharing. Voted up++

Oh Crisp - Such a deep and relate-able poem full of heartbreaking reflection and remembering. My month is June. Although I always loved Spring and Summer, June is my month for melancholy reflection and tears.

Yes, November with it's short sunless filled days can make one feel gloomy; so we try to get through it the best we can, while trying not to wish our life away. It's hard. Thank you for saying how I am feeling! : )

I enjoyed the poem, and the times are dark, but I truly love November. I'm just not sure about the future ahead. We'll have to stay optimistic and do what we can to change the path it's heading. That's all we can do. Great Job!

Beautiful and profound poetry here dear one. My goodness this one is just wonderful on many levels. Love the pics and the great video.

We know that these dark times will come, but we must never give up hope----never.

God bless. In His Love, Faith Reaper

Wonderful I really enjoyed this poem and the song choice too.

Here's to many many to follow. I vote up and share.

Great poem written with lots of emotion... I agree with both Bill and Jan here, and also, no matter how low we feel at this time of year, there are things that can make it seem a little better... lighting fires (in a burner, fireplace or fire pit outside of course...), all the colours of the leaves as they fall, running into a big pile of swept up dried leaves and kicking them... (I recommend this last option, it feels really good, but probably best avoided if the "sweeper" is around unless you want to help sweep, lol), getting those lovely big woolly jumpers out... and eating big hearty meals like stews that are saved for colder winter months....

Voting up and stuff and sending a warming cyber hug your way, all the best, Jen

Interesting and intriguing. It's not that I want to dwelkl on your misery but the strong heartfelt words have me feeling your pain. Thank you for sharing, Cris! Love the pictures!

There will always be some times in the year when we feel the blues! The years come and go and like bill has said we have to move forward.

Loved this unusual poem. Voted up,

Jan
