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.
