February
Carolina wren
sings away my winter blues
red roses help too

March
slush puddles wind snow
ice green shoots green beer – lions
lambs – the whole shebang

August
keep the long days close
as the sun tilts towards less
light, take breath with you

December
cold comes with this moon
I’ll weave my winter cocoon
settle in till June
