Now November

Now November, air perfumed with sweet decay
Fruit fermenting under a carpet of leaves,
There’s still time to prepare for Winter today.

Bird feeders turn squirrels into clever thieves,
Bluejays squawk at the unwelcome intrusion,
What keeps one through the dearth, another aggrieves.

The trees now cleared of their color infusion,
Stand like prophets of dire desolation.
Wildlife prepare for the coming reclusion.

November strips the world of green temptation,
So it may slumber in hushed hibernation.
