January

January-cold winter air swoops through the chimney but can’tblow out the fire

February

Bundled up in your house you lay surroundedby your needs of warmthNo one can cold you

March

March makes birds get ready to singIt makes snow into grassIt makes a hundred nests built for birdsIt makes winter to spring to summer to fall

April

Sing this poem in the showersand dance around with the flowers which you’redelivering to Grandma

May

May the flowers start offMay the luck bloom from thouMay the warmth start onIn May

June

The swimming pool is filled with sunlightwarming the warm airThe breeze feels good, especially when you’rereading a book in the shade under a hickory tree

July

July is the sweet sticky sound calling the birds andthe humidity healing the trees with green

August

Hot, Hot, Hot, Hot

August’s hot

September

The beginning of fall and the end of summer. Whocould ask for more.

October

Put on your hat, your cloak, your robe, we plead; fallis in session

November

The harvest on the field looks up to the cold moon

December

The December rain pains downon the windowsills frozen as icecackle cackle cackle! It seems to laughNo snow today, just frozen rainPitter patterThe rain spatters across the groundFrost evolves and multiplies itself by the minuteAs the atoms in the air turn to ice
