Gifts By Twelve

Each year starts and ends in Winter,

Its dying and rebirth.

January renews us with resolve,

Reminds us of our earthly life and worth.


As cold and ice may last too long,

A shortened month is needed.

February promises a reprieve

Now Love’s labors are warmly seeded.


The lion is tamed so the lamb may graze,

As wind and wet unwind their fearsome fury.

By shamrock’s time the air turns sublime —

Full Circle

Quiet cold

Give breath huddled days days

As magnolias bloom

Rain washes the bitter chill away

The vibrant heat

Carries me anew to the beach

The endless day

The long walks through the ally ways

As darkness creeps

Spooky souls wonder the streets

Give thanks for the new and old

And recieve the gift of the quiet cold...

12 In 1!

**_January…_**

Searing humid heat

or Cyclones and flooding rains

What a summer break!

*

_February…_

Soggy start at school

Lush green grass shoots from the earth

Unrestrainable!

*

**_March…_**

Cooler fine weather

Frolics… picnics, camping, swims

Perfect time of year.

*

**_April…_**

Showers and sunshine

Easter… family gath’ring

Celebrates Jesus.

**_May…_**

Farewell, autumn leaves

Never Ending Year

Vanilla glaze snow,

A new year, new beginning.

Promises don’t last.


Time to find true love,

But for those who don’t want to,

What lie does it hold?


Green buds start to bloom,

Luck will surely be abound.

For some, anyway.


A faint drizzle falls,

Embracing the drenched flowers,

Life concealed in gray.


Sleeping until noon,

The world’s awake, but I’m not.

Maybe tomorrow.

The Cycle Of 12 Months

January begins with a new beginning

It has some new transitions

That become transparent


February has reflection

That goes in a certain direction

No, I don’t mean the weather connections

More so, the past imperfections


March prepares for rebirth

It’s something that is loved by the Earth

When one is born, others have mirth

It’s something that has a lot of worth


And as March begins to end

April ...

The Seasons

January

Chilled and cold

My fingers froze

I feel nothing I may hold

Not even a rose


February

Warming up a bit

Love is in the air

Oh with bees the air be lit

And the blooms do be fare


March

Its St. Patrick Day

Green is what people wear

And outside their starting to play

All that winter we had to bare


April

It’s finally spring

And easter is so soon

And how the birds they sing

They sin...

Months

January,

Cold Crisp and Quiet,

A time when new year has begun

New people are welcomed into our community

And we make sure everyone has fun


February,

The temperature begins to rise,

And people begin to look forward to the sun

Valentines Day is celebrated

Everyone is kind to one another


March,

New life spreads throughout the world

Spring had begun to settle,

Flowers flourish and Blossoms Bloom

J...

Months

January

A new year

Maybe it’ll be better

Or I’ll fall better into fear


February

The month of joy

But what’s the purpose of it

When the love you have is coy


March

Clovers and such

Lucky month, they say

I don’t believe it much


April

The rainy one

Take out your umbrella

The sun gives no fun


May

A blooming flower

I would enjoy it

But I just sit inside and cower


June

The start of summer

I used to ...

The Turning of the Months

**January** wakes in a hush of white,
A breath held tight in the arms of night.
Resolutions bloom in the frost-bit air,
Hope tucked in scarves, whispered like prayer.

**February** hums in a shorter song,
A flicker of flame that doesn't last long.
Love in paper hearts and cold red cheeks,
Winter's last word before spring softly speaks.

**March** is a tug-of-war sky,
Snowflakes falling where green s...
