NOVEMBER

November seems to come too soon!

Summer flees away each year.

Trick 'r Treat: it's gone again

But other goodies soon appear:

The sparkle of the winter skies

The spicy scents of baking pies

Little kids with great big eyes-

All this lies dormant in November.

Winter festivals are at their peak

Saint Nicholas on his white horse

His namesake Santa Claus of course

The oil lamps lasting for a week...

Solstice, Divali and Kwanza

Candles help us to remember

That even now, in mid -November

We turn around....and there's--

December!
