Doreen,
A nice poem. It is still November here in NY right now for a few more hours (as I am typing this it is 6:28 p.m) but I get the gist. Don' mean to be so technical. A good poem just the same and where has this year gone? Soon it will be Hanukkah, Christmas, and before you know it New Year's Day, 2012.
