I'm a little wary of starting another challenge on the forum, I remember people were growing tired of this sort of thread. However I also remember that a few of us had fun and may like to take part in this challenge.

November is a nothing month in many ways, stuck between Autumn and Winter (in the Northern hemisphere) Days getting darker and colder and nothing much to celebrate (except Thanks giving for some)

THE CHALLENGE :- write a NEW song for November. It must have November in the title or lyrics. Any length, any style, any genre :W

You have a couple of weeks to think about it. I'll be watching the new songs list or you can leave a link in this thread. Remember it must be NEWLY WRITTEN for this challenge (not one you already did)

C'mon, lets get lots of wikiloopers having a go. It's not a competition and there will be no judgement, it's just something to do together :)

O my November

You swing in silence without unnecessary movements
Without unnecessary movements you swing in silence
The cold begins to freeze time, which seems to become endless
This time that slowly stretches without really moving
It’s the month of November, and the rain dances softly
On the leaves of autumn where the Hedgehog falls asleep.
This sweet melody of the small step and silence
Invades my heart with melancholy.

My proposition for the challenge Shamika. :)

My contribution

Title "November Stag Clash"


Smoke and static — engines scream,
Steel and soil — a savage dream.
Two kings rise through rust and dust,
November calls — obey or bust!


Step by step — the ground ignites,
Iron pulse in predator nights.
Antlers crash, bone splits steel,
Nature grinds on the mechwheel.


Drums of rage — November war,
Blood and wire, ancient core.
Eyes blaze bright — code and flame,
Only one will keep the name.


November clash!
The ground erupts — their bodies smash!
Roar in the chaos, hate in the haze,
Power awakened — November craze!


Ghosts observe — sensors hum,
Silent deer — the code undone.
Every blow — a memory stored,
One crowned beast, the other ignored.


Silence snap — circuits bleed,
Heartbeat surge — overload seed.
Laws reborn — wild and true,
Pain transcends — strength comes through.


November clash!
Ground explodes — their shadows flash!
Groove in the carnage, rage in the blaze,
Born from the void — November reigns!


Engines fade — the forest sighs,
Smoke ascends to signal skies.
Crown in blood, silence ash —
All hail the king of November clash.

Hi Didier,
I read your text and reread mine. Aaaaahhh! 😆 It’s so funny to read them one after the other. It’s normal that our music doesn’t resemble each other 😄. Thank you, Wikiloops, for allowing this cohabitation possible. :D

Oh my goodness, I didn't expect that. You two have gone above and beyond with your contributions :)
I was expecting to have songs with MUSIC but now we have lyrics we must wait to see if the music comes from you later or if another wikilooper takes on your poetry.
Thank you both most sincerely!

Note: I wrote the lyrics but not the music, which I delegated to Suno because I’m a poor singer. I wish to offer my most humble apologies to all those who resist the AI wave... Allow me this reflection: this algorithmically produced result shows just how predictable and stereotyped contemporary musical compositions have become.

Here's my lyrics and song

November Play Your Final Song
-------------------------------------------

November, how I dread your days
Shrouded in a sombre haze
The last of Autumn, by the Moon
Now Winter is approaching soon

November, play your final song
November, you do not belong in my year (after each verse)

November, what have you for I
A colder day, a darker sky
Forgotten month of no reknown
The last leaves dropping, limp and brown

November you walk with heavy plods
Maybe you displeased the Gods
of Seasons, constantly rotating
You return in shame while Nature's left waiting

Your head hangs low, no joy to find
The fruits of harvest left behind
Every day you crawl along
You don't deserve a happy song

COLD NOVEMBER

Cold November nights
Without a smile on my face
Walking through the leaves
That lay on the ground
My dreams floating like those leaves
Falling from the trees

I’m walking alone , unsure of my way
Leaves crushed beneath my tired feet
In a restless silence - but i will be okay
Still wandering lost through the cold and grey

Yes I’m looking for answers
Little pieces of that runaway dream
Everything that i see
Holds a clue to the mystery

Oh - cold November nights
Chasing memories trapped inside
Frost on the window - like a lover’s embrace
Will the morning find me
In the same place
Will the morning find me
With a smile on my face
