Winds swirl and throw rain
Slate grey skies choke light
Trees shake their last leaves
Cold damp air tears at world
Raw feels convey the changes
Red and yellow leaves cover grass
They fade as they mourn their passing
Above them branches sway wildy
The rain pounds out change
It’s teeth dig into flesh
Cold transcends everything
Life takes cover as storms rage
Winds of change sweep clean
Summers warmth gone away
You’ve captured November’s bitter side perfectly. But, she can be sweet when she wants to. (My b’day is in November so I’m rather partial to the month).

I hope your day is the one sunny day in November. Maybe it’s a regional thing but the Sun goes away at the end of October and doesn’t come back til mid February

I’ve lived places like that. The first week of November can have quirky weather — freezing rain or balmy sun with record high temps.

I’m being happy to think of 70’s and 40’s as normal weather where I’m going next week. Moving day approaches quickly

You are moving to spring! Not long now — before the first snow flies your way I hope. How goes the prep?

Chaos seems to think I need organizational assistance. We have reduced stuff. But spent 2 hours going over the professional movers item list. I have one box of clothes down. Yes the weather should be awesome…. despite a foot of snow each year. The long range forecast for the winter is unbelievable for Arizona. I’ll pay for this somehow

Beautiful Mark. An expressive and descriptive way to describe November/Winter storms. Though “winds sweep clean” “cold transcends” and “summers warmth” has left. These lines very apt.

I’m still in Ohio. I’ll start new place November 7. My move is November 1. I’m getting excited about it. I went through cold rainy day and the new home it would have been 72 and sunny. It’s close
