November Walks

Days start dark as pitch

Fallen Birch leaves

Crunch under foot

 

Whiff of leave mould

Distant cry of a bird

Hours before sunrise

 

The pitter-patter of rain

Earthy scents released

Steps quicken

'November Wlaks'
MCS,
The depth of very early morning does have a uniqueness all it's own. I felt the lonely but appreciated solitude in this poem. It's to the point catching of the moments of birch leaves underfoot and a lone bird's cry and then the need to get inside and be warm. Beautifully done.
Blessings,
Kathy

i enjoy descriptive poetry about nature a lot. i liked the way you captured an autumn day, the light, the slow onset of winter, the sounds. very lovely.
