January Sun

I take for granted I’ll enjoy sun’s rays for days on end three seasons of the year; but Winter, though she has some winning ways, is loath to treat us to sun-fueled cheer. When gold some January afternoon bursts free to warm my winter-tethered heart, I love the warmth much more than in late June when summer comes to bid fair Spring depart. July 28, 2020 entered in the Strand Completely New (14) Poetry Contest 1st place

Thanks for voicing my emotions Janice :) I love those meek rays with their warmth in January more than the bright sun in June. Congratulations on your win :)
