November is slinking out this year

cold damp a gritty cold a penetrating

damp the kind of weather that must

given rise to the blues. A nagging sense

of aint nothing gonna be any better, ever,

aint got nowhere to go but down. Down

so low that not even the grave’s

gonna break your fall made all the worse

by memories of the dizzying heights, as

memory makes it, from which you fell.

November, damp, dark, and dirty stripped

to the bare bark, gritty growly blue

November’ll do that to you every time.

Hello John,

Very dreary November poem - so vividly gloomy. I was born in November 17th but our November months here are brisk and sunny, full of excitement because it is the month before Christmas and the month when bonuses and cash incentives pour out on the paychecks, so it is the most hectci month for SHOPPING. What a stark contrast from the other side of the globe, on the same time frame!

Be always safe,
