POEM STARTER

Using twelve stanzas, write a poem about each month of the year.

Seasons Greetings

January,

winter winds flow hope into new years

Barren trees, spreading fears

What may their branches bloom?

Time will tell, though not soon.

February

Bittersweet love blossoms in the night

Kindred spirits, love at first sight

Lonely souls, yearning for candy-coated lies.

Love-soaked desires, just thorns disguised.

March

Life begins to rustle awake from winters sleep.

New eyes flutter open to peep

Natures promise, she always keeps

April

Rainy days, so they say

Life continues on as may

Budding love makes a way

That's all I have for today

May

Flowers fresh from Aprils rain

Bold and bright petals, the bud could not contain

Burst through the ground without delay

Just in time for mothers day

June

Temperutes rise, a lover sighs

Moonlit desires laced with lies

Sun-kissed memories

Lost in the sand

July

Summer fun etched in sand

Beneath boardwalks, and in every hot dog stand

Ferris wheels next to roaring waves

Burning passions begging to misbehave

August

Night gave way to endless day

A blazing sun with nothing to say.

Impatiently awaiting falls ebbing mist

With sweltering bliss

September

Nature blows kisses of breeze

School days begin

Ending summer with a freeze

Fall will soon come again

October

Black cats, witches and trolls.

Leafs of gold, and midnight strolls.

Cozy sweaters threaded with care

Fall arriving, floating through the air

November

Crisp winds whisk leaves to the ground

Scattered carpets of orange, yellow and brown

Families gather, around the table to share

Food and family everywhere

December

Cobbled streets dusted with sparkling white

Spiced scented memories decorated with lights

Snowflakes floating through the nights

Just for now, all is right
