New Year –
Resolutions?
No fear!
Snow‘s deep –
Going nowhere!
Best sleep.
Flowers gone,
Trees are sleeping –
Fire’s on.
***
February
Still cold,
Getting lighter.
Cards sold.
Pancakes –
Tossed and golden –
Time’s hard
Valentine’s Day –
No card!
***
March
Less snow,
Days are longer,
Wind’s blow.
New dawn,
Plants are growing –
Mow lawn.
Less sleep –
Clock’s go forward.
Young sheep!
***
Fool’s day –
Jokes are corny
Child’s play.
Closed park –
Wet and windy –
Build ark?
Showers clear –
Apple blossom!
Spring’s here.
***
May
May Day –
Time off work now
To play.
Long hours,
Pink and pretty
May flowers.
Fill tank
Spring Bank!
***
June
Bush rose,
Flower of beauty,
Wild grows.
Flight tests –
Babies leaving
Birds’ nests.
Bread sticks –
Mid-Summer’s day
Pic nics.
***
Sports park,
Playing tennis –
Kid’s lark.
Storm brews,
Thunder, lightning –
Soaked shoes!
Leave school,
Swimming children
In pool.
***
August
Night mare!,
Roads are busy –
Way there.
Scene dream!
Need to cool down –
Ice cream!
Roads are crowded –
Car jam!
***
September
New school –
Diff’rent children –
Feel fool!
Crops clear,
Butterfly time –
Buddhlea!
Ripe fruit,
Harvest Season –
New suit.
***
Corn sheaves,
Slowly turning
Gold leaves.
Clocks back,
Darker evenings,
Skies black.
Tricks, treats
Halloween ghosts –
Wear sheets!
***
November
Short days,
Rustling leaf-fall,
Grey haze.
Loud bangs,
Noisy fireworks –
Teen gangs.
Lamp lights,
Burning log fires,
Long nights!
***
Bare trees,
Frosty mornings,
Cold knees.
Full towns,
Christmas shopping,
Ball gowns.
Incense,
Turkey dinner,
Presents!
