Animals survive those awful Januaries with thicker coats and fluffier feathers..I don't know how they find food but they do..Sara
January's cousin Fall left in a fit For January brought her friend, Wind howling long Denuded the trees of all their gowns knit Now her great Aunt Spring feels no way strong Great Aunt Spring has gone underground safely Hidden from January's cold icy tricks Underground or faraway supersafely Waiting for Spring's return with corner tricks Spring has a way to drive cold January Far away up to Canada's great north Where January cold winter wind that's airy Really belongs, yeah Spring come forth Birds and animals with heavy coats sing With January but rejoice when enters spring (Had started this one for a contest)

I will be rejoicing when spring gets here. We've not had much winter and I hope we don't. Take care. Janet

I really love this piece - the contest filled before you could enter? What a shame - I'm sure it would have been a big winner.

Nice write Sara! January is sure a brute but if you survive this long month things usually start to get better by the end of February! That's when Aunt Spring starts to work her magical powers! I loved your poem!! Awesome Work!!
