NOVEMBER SCOPE
We speak of saints and soul, we say
our dismay
and thunder's scorn
helps lead them on

Self sacrificing, giving all
Trees bare and tall
Without garnish
Be their relish

A master's voice helps to lead them
Wind of this realm
Spirit of hope
Thats how they cope
NOVEMBER SCOPE © gillena cox 2016

Note
November brings to the catholic mind set
All Saints Day - November 1st
and
All Souls Day - November 2nd

THERE BE WISE PUMPKINS TOO
There was a pumpkin round and smart
The light he craved from his very start
He wobbled and shifted
Until indeed was sighted
And brought home from the vegetable mart

COUNT HALOWEEN VAMP
There was a vampire twisted and dead
Lay in a coffin so lucid stories read
A maiden's neck alack
For him held no slack
Dammed he to lust of sweets instead

DIVALI FLICKERS
To stir love's pot with lamps of clay
Night shifts from day
Tiny flickers
These are stickers

The adventures of light and dark
Have sealed its mark
Firmly affixed
Truth here it sticks

Good-over-evil weaves a tale
threads never frail
Bind devotees
At Divali

NEUTRAL GREY
Suddenly they take to the air
pigeons of grey
with a stutter
with a flutter

Not flashy like friend kiskadee
they like to be
more like friend dove
the boon of love

The don their somber coats to bear
neutral wear
archetypal
acoustical

MOON POESY
What a large large moon i exclaimed
To the offering of a night sky long planned

A stunning moon greeted my stares
From a distance still to me unfathomable

When that bright moon seared my thoughts
I stared in wonder for this was a night

A moonlit course of opening my heart
To the shadowy foibles encased in poesy

Is there ever a moon on high not loving
A poet's soul not witholding a swooning

Monday WRites 80

BRAND NEW
Tell me Monday
Are you beginning
Are you playing second fiddle
Do you even care

Says Monday:
Like it or not here i come
With my blues
My weekend hang overs
And unfinished homework

Tardy last minute finishers
Fresh spruce starters
Here we-go-again yawners
All this, and more I am

Monday -
Of the "new" work week
Of the "new" school week
Sunday's rest is over!
