Sweep away, November wind
The dust of ended days
Lift the summer's worn out clothes
And cast them all away
Carry the birds to safety south
Call in December's clouds
They'll wrap the world in wint'ry sleep
A chilly, burial shroud
It was so windy today. It wouldn't have been half cold without the gusts cutting through my hoodie.

The photo is technically from October, but I thought we could use a nice pic with this poem anyway.

Technically winter starts more than halfway through winter, so it's not really what I'd call winter most of the time.

Butyeah. I love the poem. I also love how you put "wint'ry" instead of "wintery".
(Psst, how do you get the picture in the same deviation as the writing? Because I totally wish I had known about that...)
