Multi-tasking to rest
Generations X, Y and Z
———————
Yesterday’s 11/6
Crisp November Day
Sunny and good for walking
As I rest, cat betwixt my knees
————————–
Poem for 11/4
Sleepy
here not here
Sickness
Running slow

Poems for 11/1
Locking
Leaves Changing
Falling
Days shorter
Time for sweaters
Time for heat
Time for friendship
——–
Wind blows
From the north
Sun rises
late
sets early
The animals
prepare for winter
The trees
lose their leaves
The acorns are gathered
The wood, the oil
the need for fire
for heat.
Hearty, warm foods
Stews, roasts
Homes filled with smells
Gatherings, celebrations
Thanksgiving, Christmas, family
Gift-giving, appreciating
the coming of the longer day.
As the full cold comes
the hard winter
of January and February
To the melts of March and April
the crocus being bold
The animals emerging
The mud cometh.
Black flies in all of their splendor
Biting, feeding, welcoming the season
Time of bogs, of mud
of greening.
Of the birds returning
of the warmth returning
Summer so short
full of tourists
from away
Maine sure is pretty.
Effermal residents from the south
leaving estates empty for 3 seasons.
Camp, retreats, precious
all too short
Fall comes, days shorten
Leaves turn
Winter’s briskness hinting.
And so to locking again.
