November Poems (5)

    

"The body is like a November birch facing the full moon
And reaching into the cold heavens.
In these trees there is no ambition, no sodden body, no leaves,
Nothing but bare trunks climbing like cold fire!

My last walk in the trees has come. At dawn
I must return to the trapped fields,
To the obedient earth.
The trees shall be reaching all the winter.

It is a joy to walk in the bare woods.
The moonlight is not broken by the heavy leaves.
The leaves are down, and touching the soaked earth,
Giving off the odors that partridges love."-   Robert Bly, Solitude Late at Night in the Woods 

November Poem (4)

November's Wind
"The wind that makes music in November corn is in a hurry.  The stalks hum, the loose husks whisk skyward in half-playing swirls, and the wind hurries on....
A tree tries to argue, bare limbs waving, but there is no detaining the wind."-   Aldo Leopold

No school Tomorrow in Honor of Veterans Day

We Owe Them a Lot

On Veterans Day we remember again Our men and women who served; We honor them now for what they did then: The liberties they preserved.

Let’s never forget their sacrifice, The hard, heavy work they have done; They did what was asked, crucial needs they fulfilled, With a telephone, pencil or gun.

We’re happy and proud to honor them; They gave so much more than they got. Our heroes, our veterans kept freedom safe; All of us owe them a lot. By Joanna Fuchs

November Poems (3)

"Two sounds of autumn are unmistakable, the hurrying rustle of crisp leaves blown along the street or road by a gusty wind, and the gabble of a flock of migrating geese. Both are warnings of chill days ahead, fireside and topcoat weather." - Hal Borland

November Poems (2)

 

"The name 'November' is believed to derive from 'novem' which is the Latin for the number 'nine'.  In the ancient
Roman calendar November was the ninth month after March.  As part of the seasonal calendar November is the
time of the 'Snow Moon' according to Pagan beliefs and the period described as the 'Moon of the Falling Leaves'
by Black Elk."

November poems (1)

"So dull and dark are the November days. The lazy mist high up the evening curled, And now the morn quite hides in smoke and haze; The place we occupy seems all the world." - John Clare, November

It was small but very entertaining, a few sideshows, and mazes. It is very different compared to other theme parks. Universal Studios, Six Flags are park made to scare the hibby jibby's out of someone. Griffith parks goal is to give you a good show.
