stars pirouette in the North Wind.
The pined voice of November
sadly calls to rescind
this once gold canvas,
dancing in white.
Beauteous,
alight
snow.

Hello, John,

Yes, trying to convey how sad and heartbroken November was to see all the glorious colors disappear while still being awed by the pristine winter.
