The Year
January comes cold for most, a biting wind at the fingers of your gloves
February follows quickly, a month filled with sadness or love
March then follows, my anniversary month so I’m a bit bias of course
Then leading into April, so much rain it creates new lines of shore
May straddles spring and summer, who knows what you might get?
June arrives, school’s out, but it isn’t getting hot yet?
July comes, the peak of heat where we celebrate the 4th, the founding of our land
August follows, as we heal our sunburns and begin to get serious about those New Year’s plans
September comes with a soft breeze and yellow leaves
Orange comes bearing spookiness and more frigid nights
November, the second to last, a turkey trot that will surely always last
Until we reach December, my, how time has passed
