Sweet November

Category: Issue 8, Poetry/Lyrics Winners

November days are pumpkin pie

Sweet

Crusty

Ochre to orange

Spiced with cinnamon

Firm and rich

We say goodbye to fall

Thankful that it always returns

We bundle up

We stoke the fire

Scoop the creamy flesh

Of pumpkins

Into shallow pans

Kitchen aromas

Rise like smoke

Thick with memories

Thick with promise

Thick with the hum of many voices

Spiced with chuckles

And sighs
