It's January

J ubilee’s song heightens; the bell is rung A uld Lang Syne…fond memories we all keep, N ever-ending the pour of chilled wine, that U nsaid words of love spill on tinseled lights; A s orchestral tunes greet this first of month R eveling in dreams laced with snowdrop scent; Y ounger the hearts...chanting newborn wishes! Enter the BEST SHORT ACROSTIC POEMS Andrea Dietrich's Contest ~ This is my birth month; carnation and Snowdrop are symbolic flowers implying hope and beauty 12/ 22/ 2015

Cheery anticipation of a new year designed with jubilant mood. I also like your appreciation for the past; not living in it but remembering it fondly. Such sweet melody of January! Thank you for your comments!
