November Dance
Wind ruffles lake’s surface,
whose waves lightly pound
stones that line the shore.
A flock of yellow butterflies –
loosened leaves flutter in breeze.
Even black nights are bedecked
with bright diamonds.
No sudden changes to send
the howl of Arctic blasts;
mild November dances in
with utter delight.
