November isn't Always a Shade of Brown
Usually November in the north country
wears a chocolate coat of brown.
Crinkly fallen leaves adorn
a dusty dirt road.
Snappy bare tree branches sway in the wind
with scampering chipmunks racing to and fro
between stacked wood piles.
But this year I see rich greens, deep reds and burnt oranges…
so there’s hope for color this month.
But not the white stuff…not just yet.
