January Through December

10/17/16


Year round January through December

The weather
Taking turns for the worse or better
More or lesser

Among ancient and modern architecture
Made of similar and different textures

Near or far away from plants that do or don't have nectar
As well as abandoned or highly secured sectors

Secrets in letters, locked ledgers or found with a hidden lever
Left there by either gender

Realize, it didn't always lead to treasure and other splendors
Sometimes it was something else, unexpected yet clever

Earthquakes being monitored and traced to the epicenter
Ranging in different magnitudes of power and tremors

Always great to cook with ingredients that are fresher
 At times fat being rendered
And other components put in a blender

Mild to dangerously hot peppers
Grown for personal consumption or to be sold as a vendor or peddler

Hostile and friendly gestures
All over the globe wherever and whenever

Pull yourself together
Never
Give up on the adventure
Or fold from the pressure
Remember nothing lasts forever
Keep your head up and try to do better
With your endeavors

Always great to cook with ingredients that are fresher
At times fat being rendered
And other components put in a blender
