Observations from the Garden

Persephone basks

Posted on November 10, 2019 by The Course of Our Seasons

Its warm,
an uncommon day in November,
the sun seeps honey and languorous
across the deep autumn landscape.

Trees fold inward, their somber winter
slumbers await.
Birds chitter and sing as if a spring day
while small furred creatures busy themselves
with the important matters of survival
and hunger.

Ice begins tonight.

Persephone basks
for one more day.

    I’m in the Pacific Northwest and we just experienced almost two weeks of unusual beautiful sunny weather. It ended Friday, but it was a blessing! And it inspires my writing too. Cheers!
