Poetry Friday - November Welcome

        Welcome to Poetry Friday, the 'after party' edition and a welcome to November. 

November Night

Listen...

With faint dry sound,

Like steps of passing ghosts,

The leaves, frost-crisp'd, break from the trees

And fall.

--by Adelaide Crapsey 

         Adelaide Crapsey, creator of one of the cinquain forms, and a creator of this well-known favorite poem of mine, known by many of you I'm sure. You can find a collection of others by her here. And the poets.org site offers this biography. Here is my own November observation.

November Tree

Unmasked --

divine design,

thin arms surprised by sun.  

Its leaves that cling wink at a breeze,

persist.
