Alexis Y. Poet Monorhyme

A Lovely Year

January poetry brought me from the 
dead 
February it took my hand, never misled 
In mid March I had many adventures to
tread
April I started to use ink instead of lead

May was a new dawn and my heart no
longer bled 
In june rhymes saved me by not leaving
words unsaid 
July is special,it's when my thoughts and
words wed
In August my past wanted my pen, i saw
red

September I listened to all that my muse 
said
In October negative energy just fled
November I looked for the rainbow up ahead
It’s December and words and rhymes dance 
in my head

I wish I had thought of that. Your poem is a definite winner to me not only for how beautifully it was written but the creativity and thought that went into it. Fantastic my sweet friend. Alexis Y.
