Month Metaphors

January
Shivers into the
Room as an excited hairless dog
It shakes to stay warm
Trudges thru snow
And licks icicles off
Any edge it can
Its advance is quick;
Broken promises to self
Only a fortnight in
And speedily it
Makes its exit



April
Joyfully
Springs into view
Bouncing here and there
Like a child
On a sugar high
It floats on clouds
Heavy with rain and
Skips on sidewalks like
A morning drizzle
It brings joy and sadness
Remembrances of birth and death
The great circle of life
Then it dances joyfully
Over the horizon of view



November
Snuck in
On a sunny warm day
With a cool little breeze
Then a sudden cold
Evening
It sucked the
Warmth away
Started freezing our little toesies
Until yielding to
Colder weather still
Oy vey.
