November Sky
by Richard VinceThere is an urgency in the sky;
An almost tangible energy
That quickens my heart
And my feet.
The trees feel it too:
Their outstretched limbs wave
To the clouds as they hurry by.
That same wind that propels
The clouds plays with my
Clothing and my tired breath,
So that I cannot ignore
The feeling of life around me.
The leaves are dying, but
I am living once again.

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 01/04/11 at 04:15 PM Yes! The falling leaves do not mean death, just a shift in how one lives - nicely put. I like how this begins with energy observed that gives you energy. Love the last two lines. |

A brilliant verse to rock the mind! Love this style as I write like this often! Excellent dude! |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 01/09/11 at 04:01 PM Although I prefer September and October, this poem certainly reinforces why fall is my favorite time of year. Thanks for that Richard. Excellent close off also. |
| Posted by Morgan D Hafele on 01/10/11 at 01:41 PM it seems that more leaves die in the summer here in the desert, but this piece brings to memory the "real" falls i've had in the past. |
