Nov. 21-27. Charles Simic

Winter coming. Like the last heroic soldier
Of a defeated army, you'll stay at your post,
Head bared to the first snow flake.
Till a neighbor comes to yell at you,

didn’t the night end, wasn’t the earth
safe when it was planted
didn’t we plant the seeds,
weren’t we necessary to the earth,

--Louise Gluck

Nov. 7-13. Emily Dickinson

New children play upon the green,
New Weary sleep below;
And still the pensive spring returns
And still the punctual snow!
