Poetry Friday: Maple Musings


Head over to Michelle's blog, Today's Little Ditty,
for this week's round-up of poetic goodness. 
Michelle is celebrating her latest TLD anthology. 
You 'll recognize many PF friends in its pages 
and can get your copy here.
Thanks, Michelle, for hosting this week!


And so November comes.
Early darkness.  Shorter days.
Overnight blazing red!
 
The window calls
Radiant ruby red leaves 
Wonder-struck, I pause.

Leaf littered path
Red leaves decorate foliage
Christmas tiptoes near.
- Ramona Behnke, November 2019
