Notes About The Poem

Garnet

O vibrant and rich January
Velvet sweet, warming  the icy vine;
Her crystalline - garnet evening, bright...
Red orioles, whose lilting chorus
The snowflakes, in tinsel greet: And moon
knowing a gown's ONE STONE designs
To adorn the night!...  her Capricorn
Jewel spills depicting vitality on flight,    
Glossing roses on meadows awakened
From Winter's chilled poses. These restless
burst and fragrant sighs make her throttle
In joy-- bold maiden of new dawn's sky

Love that last line. You've written another beauty Nette. (Shhhh, my birthstone, don't tell anybody). Garnets used to be mined in the mountains of North Carolina near where I lived. Surprisingly they come in many different colors around the world, including yellows and greens.
