January

JANUARY

Spit out hope  dear January
The cycle has just begun
For  grandiose  resolutions:
Saving money, spending less,
Losing weight, eating healthy,
Walking, exercising more,
Sharing more precious time with love ones.
Remarkable plans!

Light the fire dear January
Keep the torch burning
A  spot  light through a  jungle of:
Joys, pains,  triumphs, failures
Comfort, discomfort,
Fortunes, misfortunes
Health, sickness.
Riddles of life!

Exalt  as you  open the door dear  January
For you are the gateway
To the unknown  2012!

I wasn't able to write for this contest :( but this definitely is a joy and hopeful read :)! Btw, I had to Smile Real Wide as I saw your avatar! Is this your beloved kubo?? It's definitely Charming ^_^! I love that you put it here :D Login to Reply

Andrea Dietrich Date: 1/3/2012 9:45:00 PM Dalila, you asked me if it was personification. I agree with Gwen down here. Of course it is! Don't fret. I will be disappointed if this fine work does not make the winners' list! Login to Reply

Robert Pettit Date: 1/2/2012 11:22:00 PM January can be considered a gateway to the unknown since it is the first of the twelve months of the year. I just hope those other eleven months bring you blessings in every way. Good write. Login to Reply
