No sun - no moon!
No morn - no noon -
No dawn - no dusk - no proper time of day.
No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member -
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds! -
November!
The poem atop today's blog entry is by Thomas Hood, and I've written about it a few times here on Blogger. If you'd like to reference my posts on Hood and his poem, please click here. Hood's poem is on my mind today, because it's All Souls Day, the day which always follows All Saints Day. On a number of occasions I've written about folks who have died as well as a few saints, but honoring those who have gone from this life is one of the big yes-es in the month of November.
Welcome to "The Last Leaf Gardener," a blog by Patricia Youngquist. I am a photo-artist, bird-lover and urban gardener living in NYC. I also have published a three volume book series, "Words In Our Beak," in which the stories are told by Cam, the bird pictured above. Click on the first image in the sidebar (Right) for info.
