A "November Pilgrim Girl" poem with a picture to color

Not yesterday I learned to know
The love of bare November days*
(Robert Frost, My November Guest)
Color Me
Color me the hues of your mid Autumn
People will know my name is November
November with pilgrim's hat, royal black
The hat will tell the world of my values
Values we stand for still, banned from U.K.
Standing for good teachings of the Bible
Color my dress to match the harvest, corn
Fill my orange bucket, a Halloween
leftover, with frothy crystal white, frost
Left hand holds a shining star, colored bright
My stockings white with red and yellow bands
Can't forget the shoes, shiny black, brown soles
My hair will be blonde, heavy yellowish
Skin still summer rose, cheeks especially
Trees are yellow and red, shining slightly
Walnuts dropping around, ripe, dulling green
Clouds a few, dirty gray, no snow just yet
Let the sun be cooling, goldish orange
The ground is brown with wilted grass, dying
Green grass under the bench, soft on the feet
Color the bench 'park bench color', you choose
Handsome lad come sit by our Pilgrim girl

I think November here is so much more monochrome... I just looked out of the window, and all i could do was to sigh.
"color me"... is a wonderful take off from Frost - adore his line "The love of bare November days"... I haven't heard that one before. I am off to pull my Frost book from the shelf.
This is really a cool poem, and I'm prompted to go read 'My November Guest'
Thank you for dropping by to read mine
Much love...
Very nice poem, and the picture to colour is fun! :)
My favorite about this is "color the bench park bench color" as that's just how kids would describe that! Very astute. I'm gonna check out that link too, thanks Jim. Get out and sit on that bench today :)
