November draws to

a close with timid sunshine.

Welcoming winter.

November 29, 2011

Another grey day,

dreary, cold, silent, autumn.

Longing for the spring.

November 28, 2011

The sun reminds me

that it’s still around today.

But there is a chill.

November 27, 2011

Lashing rain driven

by violent gusts of wind.

The autumn’s dark notes.

November 26, 2011

The clay starts to go

out of control, slowly, fast.

Another angst bowl.

November 25, 2011

Writing my dreams down,

my art bursts forth, surprising.

Getting to know me.

November 24, 2011

Sulking kitty cat

reprimanded for drinking

from watering can.

November 23, 2011

Fighting with my cat

over where he drinks water.

He is ever sly.

November 22, 2011

Cloudy dreary day

with dull greyness pervading.

Where is the bright sun?

November 21, 2011

Madness, bedlam, noise,

shoppers with carts laden full.

Value Village sale.

November 20, 2011

Not wanting to leave

the house to go out in cold.

But alas I must.

November 19, 2011

My cat stealing my

heating pad on a cold morn.

Must we fight like this?

November 18, 2011

Frost on my window

hiding the cold day from me.

Snuggle up to cat.

November 17, 2011

Darkness filled with wind,

pouring rain, waves, aching cold.

Autumn storm season.

November 16, 2011

Swirling leaves blown by

the howling winter wind, north.

My hair, everywhere.

November 15, 2011

Afternoon sun comes

through my window touching blooms

of Christmas Cactus.

November 14, 2011

Running out to the

curb with the recycling bin.

Panic in the morn.

November 13, 2011

Grey skies look bleak, cold,

holding the promise of rain.

But I’ll stay inside.

November 12, 2011

The mystery of

glaze on pottery. You don’t

know what you will get.

November 11, 2011

I wear my poppy,

think of my grandfather brave

and all the others.

November 10, 2011

It’s someone’s birthday

today. He’s finally old

as me. For now. Ha!

November 9, 2011

Procrastinating

the inevitable run.

Out into the cold.

November 8, 2011

Shuffling through wet leaves

in between gravestones covered.

Autumn in Ross Bay.

November 7, 2011

Dishes piling up

endlessly needing washing.

I’ve dishwasher dreams.

November 6, 2011

Condensation on

the windows in the morning.

Chill air outside home.

November 5, 2011

Wretchedness around,

waking up grumpy, cranky.

Must get a good sleep.

November 4, 2011

Pretty red crab shells,

why are you so difficult

to replicate? Grrr.

November 3, 2011

Golden splendour in

the trees, on the ground, around.

Pretty fall colours.

November 2, 2011

Sleeping cat near to

me, warm, content, blissful, soft.

Nature’s masterpiece.

November 1, 2011

Sleepless night, tortured

racing thoughts. Why can’t I dream?

Please, sleep, take me now.
