January

Janus, god of doors and gates, your inspiration, Ahead and back you look with anticipation. New beginnings, starting over is your renown, Umber shades and white your dress and crown. Arrayed in frigid ice and drifting snow, Regally you purse your lips and kisses blow, Yielding reddened cheeks and noses from chilly flow. 1/20/22

I've been wanting to come pay you a visit, Kim, but my time on Soup has been rather limited. I enjoyed this Acrostic in rhyme which also has the making of personification. ~ Regards // paul
