2022 November PAD Chapbook challenge 4

For today’s prompt, take the phrase “In the (blank),” replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem.

In the Month of November

In the month of November

Chilled winds blow in mountain states

Bundled up children play in first snow of winter

Rusty blades scrape on a barely white road

Scarred pumpkins disintegrate on wooden porches

Brown leaves swirl in their death dance to the ground

And for all of these things

We remember to be thankful.
