I had the idea (from a children's book of acrostic alphabet poems about autumn) to do an Advent series of acrostic poems, so I have been brainstorming words appropriate to each letter. So, look for that starting 1 Dec.

November Day by Eleanor Averitt

Old haggard wind has
plucked the trees
Like pheasants, held
between her knees.
In rows she hangs them
bare and neat,
Their brilliant plumage at
her feet.
