POEM STARTER
Using twelve stanzas, write a poem about each month of the year.
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 love it
Now it’s a bummer
July
Firework light the sky
But why do I both to do so
When I could just cry
August
Near the end
Of the sun’s warmth
But my heart can’t mend
September
Starting to grow cold
The leaves fall
Starting to grow old
October
The month of scares
The cries of kids
Then they laugh like they have no cares
November
Family comes over
Go bond, they say
But you’re gone, my lover
December
The end of the year
I hope you return, I miss you
Before they catch me again, my fears
