Early and Late

Early and Late

A Chapter by Abdul Batin Osman Bey
"

just how I was feeling at this time in November

"

Early November

Twelve days in

Sleet on the road

Light snow on the cars

Gray clouds of dulled delight

Sprinkle spitting rain

Soulless parking lot

Cold chill of desperation surrounds everything

Howl old ancient wind

Early November

Bad juju

Interesting move from mundane to magical here. You've captured November exactly, at least in the way that I experience it. November always seems to me like a car that won't start. Then again, that same feeling can be felt all year round in my home town- if it weren't so damned Welsh, there'd be tumbleweeds rolling through. I'm always waiting for the magic to happen, even the "bad juju".
I'm a big fan of keeping poems short and to the point, and you didn't waste a word here. Very well put together, apt imagery, spot on!
