pumpkins in november

the first snow of the season
fell yesterday

the large white flakes
barely sticking
to the pumpkins

as i watched
i realized another reason
november is my favorite

i'll tell you
(even if you
don't really want to know)

it's "in between"

partly fall
partly winter

so many trees
void of all their leaves
but the lawn is green
and my ferns still thriving

geese
fly high overhead
not quite
home

i could point out so much more
but it would all be for
simply saying

i love november

it's "in between"

like me
