Greetings To a New Year Season
Soon there will be temperatures that will show
Forecast predicting snow
Coming down creating blankets that are white
Packed together thrown when in a fight
Everything seems magical as it drops
Festive music enhances need to shop
Even though
It is ten below
Off to the market letting more money go
When the year turns
Heaters orange red as they burn
During calendar page number one
Chilly despite rays from the sun
Gigantic covers by a fire romantic and fun
Recovering after the work is done
Month turns two
Expression heard ‘I love you’
American Presidents have an honor which is cool
Holiday tri tempting and true
Coming in like a lion or lamb
Blurring the cold plan
Hitting a jam
Heat rising taking a stand
St Patrick’s lucky Irish have a day
Kiss me buttons do say
Corn beef and cabbage served warding off snake’s fear
Bringing hope and cheer
Spring steps in
Taking it on the chin
Question “Where have you been?”
“Haven’t seen you in a while”
Answering with a smile
Turning the weather dial
“A vacation not long
Hung out in tropics listening to steel band songs
Rested and feeling good
Ready for a summer ditching wintry looking hoods
Putting on protective lotion
Modern potion
Careful due to roasting”
Enjoy whatever the degree
That stipulates what type of ski
One on water that is fluffy ice
Or placid tranquil calm warming up nice
Change in season
Ever so pleasing
Besides being challenge and teasing
Making one think that is the reason
Take every moment in stride
Remembering it is only a natural ride
That comes and goes like an oceanic tide
