On a red carpet
Tossing leaves of welcome
November swept in
As the barren trees shivered
And the crescent moon vanished
Tanka
November’s Opening Night

On a red carpet
Tossing leaves of welcome
November swept in
As the barren trees shivered
And the crescent moon vanished

Leonas Lines--Poetry Plus 
I like the rhythm of the words as well as the words themselves. They paint a picture in the mind.
Thank you Diane. I appreciate your comment. That is what I was hoping the poem would convey.
