I posted this last year, but figured, what the heck, I'll post it again.

November begins
with leftover Halloween candy
purchased for half price at the grocery store.
Soon candy corn gives way to
Indian corn
decorating the door,
a welcome home sign
for family members who gather for that
most American of holidays;
celebrating their thankfulness with
turkey for five, or twelve,
or two,
depending on how the family has grown
or gone.
November ends
With leftover pumpkin pie,
holiday shopping and wondering
at how quickly the year has flown,
while outside the trees rival the summer flowers
with their brilliance,
Reminding us
that even endings can be beautiful.

Two questions...Did you write that? And may I respond to it in kind?

Yes I did and of course you can! :)
