ADIEU TO NOVEMBER 2019 By Polly Guerin


Must I say, too soon, Adieu to lovely autumn?
The calm repose of sun kissed days awesome

Stealing gently into the harvest of the year
I can still hear autumn dancing in the sphere

Crisp sunburn leaves soothe the troubled heart
Stave off the weary cares before they even start

The sweet chill of pumpkin spices linger long
The world is full of chirping happy bird song

With childlike wonder autumn's magic hour
Brought cartoon floats above the city bougher

The season ignites hospitality in the heart
And the congenial flame of charity to start

With great cheer assembled for the merry feast
Gathered folks with gratitude to say the least

I heard a thousand blended roaring notes
A frigid blast bore down with chilling strokes

Then, here's to the steadfast, brave oak tree
It stands with its pride, hale green for thee

Tuck November's  story inside a keepsake box
And save autumn's treasures to later unlock

Remember the sweet chill of autumn so dear
Return to its pleasures, again, but next year!
