POEM STARTER
Using twelve stanzas, write a poem about each month of the year.
A Year in Verses
Month one
A cold tone
January
Welcome snow
Heater on show
A warm orange glow.
Month two
Still it is cold
February
Daylight longer
I need a warmer
Thicker duvet.
Month three
The ides of...
...March.
A little warmer
Some rain
And a pain
Clocks hour gain.
Month four
Chocolate
April
Easter eggs
A warm bunny
Am I.
Month five
Getting warmer
Its May
A surprise, maybe
A bank holiday
The pub for a day.
Month six
Its finally summer
A very long day.
June
A month, no name
You bet it rains
Brits in shorts.
Month seven
Its hotter
And sweatier
July,
Sun, sea and sand
Rain, sea and sand.
Month eight
A tad cooler
Warm for shorts
Its August
Week off?
Holiday?
Ahhhhhh
Time off.
Month nine
A little cooler
Days close in
September.
Almost autumn
Work returns
Now to normal.
Month ten
Then again
A hour to gain
October
Cooler
Wetter
Those beans
Its windier.
Month eleven
Its cooling
Nights close in
November.
Fireworks
Noisey
German markets
Noisey
Groan.
Month twelve
Its cold
Its winter
Its December
A groan
Its soon over
The new year
Here.
