The Full Moon Of November

The full moon of November


is

away

above the clouds.

Thin fingers

of

trees

scratch

the

sky

as

roots dig

deep

in

beds of fallen

blooms,

leafs,

flowers.

All the roses

silent.

Yet rage

in the

change of seasons.

Soft as the rains

that

shall soon

be

snow.

In the light of

the

Moon of November

Muted

never silent.

And on the

other side

of

the

moon.

Ever shine on.

As ever be well, with love, Stephen Craig Rowe

Ms. B was tired today and only worked three hours. Ms. B just wasn't in the mood. Ms. B sighed inside, while outside she smiled and made bright eyes and bright "good mornings!" But ms b wanted to go home and was glad when it was time.

Ms. b thinks your poetry is stunning.

Where I live, in southern Ontario, the winds have already raged and the soft rains have already turned to snow.

If you'd like some I can probably arrange it. We have plenty to spare.

Excellent poem, by the way.

Dear Stephen, true we are in a special way like friends for some years now. though we are living so far and speaking with big gaps and space between the words and times i know it for true that we have "this" communication of words, and also silence between them.
