The Month of November Glum
The Month of November Glum
Late Autumn bloomers, mums galore,
Crowd the mantel with Fall décor;
Touching the heart with warm timbre
In the glum month of November.
I watched her pick them one by one
To place in a vase of chrysanthemums,
Of beguiling colours and scent
Tempting romantic engagement.
My eyes stretch the fabric of time
Embedding this vision of mine,
My love’s rapport with chrysanthemums
In the month of November glum.

Note:
The month of November’s birth flower is the lovely Autumn bloomer, chrysanthemum, aka mum. Chrysanthemums display the many colours of Fall. They represent friendship, honesty, and happiness, and symbolize joy and beauty.
