POEM STARTER
Using twelve stanzas, write a poem about each month of the year.
Year Three
It’s January.
You declare my bikini line too hairy.
It’s February.
You think I could lose weight if I quit dairy.
It’s March.
You give me pointers for a hotter back arch.
It’s April.
You ruin my birthday party and swear I’m unstable.
It’s May.
You cry about how much I weigh.
It’s June.
You call me uncultured for sleeping through Dune.
It’s July.
You get caught leering at a pregnant girl then lie.
It’s August.
You brag at a party that the girl you took to prom in eighth grade was the hottest.
It’s September.
I bake you a birthday cake you won’t remember.
It’s October.
You note I’m better in bed when I’m not sober.
It’s November.
I throw a wine bottle; you rail against my temper.
It’s December.
You miss skinny me; she was limber.
