Coloring November Nights
Blue Red
The call is near The feast is near
The year is dying New Year to arrive
Those Cloudy Breaths Those Cloudy Breaths
Freezing my mind Refreshing my mind
First drop of rain First drop of rain
Crying your name… Whispering your name…
Those remind me of “my” Those remind me of “my”
Cruel November Nights! Sweet November Nights!
You asked me for time You asked me for time
To rekindle your life To rekindle your life
When I called you back When I called you back
So hard you denied… So soon you accept…
Those remind me of “my” Those remind me of “my”
Cruel November Nights! Sweet November Nights!
So I shortened my days so I stretched my days
And I skipped all nights And I stuffed all nights
Just to say “good-bye” Just to remember you
To “my cruel” In “my sweet”
November Nights! November Nights

Nice use of color to make your point in the poem. Thank you for the excellent poem.
Thanks John, nice to see you share our interest!
Is there a cultural significance to the color scheme? It speaks of that to me…a holiday celebrated or some such. Regardless–I like the repeated line, repeated form, and contrasting lines, too.
Dear Charron,thank you for liking the poem and showing concern for the meaning.The whole point of the poem is to describe two simultaneous feelings(Blue: glum, Red:gay” towards the “end” i.e December – the end of year. I targeted November instead of December because i believe that what comes just before the end is important,not the end itself. Described accumulative feelings as shades of November,how one sees the end when he/she is happy and vise versa when lost..Nothing cultural here
Interesting form. I come up with a few new ones every now and then.
