November Apparel

Ryerson University, downtown Toronto

November is here. It's such a quiet month,

don't you think? More low key than October.  

Unionville

 November doesn't scream, 'Fall!', but gently

whispers it in deeper hues, subtle cues

that it's colder cousin is on the way.

Foliage is precious, so the sun's soft rays create
 shadowy clones that cover exterior walls,
autumn jackets for pretty facades.

Can you guess where I came across these clusters of fall?

This patchy plot of autumnal tones, although lovely,

 is something of a puzzle. I can't recall if it's like this

  all year round, which, of course, would make it

 artificial. Regardless, it is interesting!

 Thanks for visiting,

Happy November, all!

November's Treasures

Sweet November, 
meandering through
 your muted hues,

 and pausing to ponder
among leaves of chartreuse,

 I hiked up your hilltops,
where the vines gleamed like gold,

and among glittering gems,
I secretly strolled.

Or so I thought!

A lazy, grazing flock of sheep,

 stood, gazing, guessing,
who'd made a peep!
 
Catching a glimpse of eagle's eye,
Thought I'd bid them all goodbye!

 Downhill I tread
on slopes slippery and steep,



  and arrived at a church,
nestled deep,
 among fruit bearing trees.

A few steps away,
surrounded by green,
St. Matthew's is part
of a pastoral scene.

And, in the neighbouring village,
at the top of the road,
 yet a third church stands,
 next to an olive grove. 

From there,
I spy my space, 
high in the sky,

 and spot others of stone,
stucco and dye,
below.

Ah, November,
with your tableau
of gold and bordeaux,
December is upon us,
 and tomorrow
 you shall go,
quietly leaving
 your treasures
in my heart, aglow.

Thanks for visiting!
