The Date and Calendar

"Nothing changes but the date on the calendar." By Poet

We love our pretty calendars holding our favorite pictures. 
Many pictures of cute animals,
some of majestic land or sea views. 
Each month changes with new pictures to enjoy. 
We circle the dates we need to remember,
never wanting to forget our appointments or events. 
I like to write in the date box a couple of words,
these words helps me to remember why I circled the date. 
When December shows up, 
our calendar must be put to rest.
The many dates on the twelve months have served us well. 
Now off to shop for a new calendar,
one holding new dates and wonderful pictures.

people never change
history has all the proof
dates always changing

Hilda Greenhough May 12, 2025 at 7:25 AM I usually get animal calendars. The bird ones have spectacular photography. Your poem is well composed and probably the ony one about calendars (but don't quote me). Paula Goldsmith May 12, 2025 at 10:04 AM Thanks, for your visit, reading and writing. Glad you found my fun "The Date and Calendar" to be, well composed. I get a new linen towel calendar each Christmas from my husband. It hangs on the wall in our kitchen. I have a paper one on my desk, I can write on. The print on the paper one changes from year to year. I love the animals ones along with flowers or the sea. May each new date on your calendar bring you blessings.........
