Sandra Haight Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Waiting For the Prize

Waiting For The Prize


First month this year
   passed by with cheer;
      each day that's done
leads to the one

We all wait for
   that gives us more
      warm days with sun
and time for fun.

More months to go
   with cold and snow;
      wool scarfs and boots
warm coats top suits.

As March comes 'round,
   though bare the ground 
      spring buds can grow;
pop through the snow.

With March we'll spend
   mixed days that send
      warm air, cold breeze;
our new spring tease.

Month four brings rain
   to wash the stain
      of past days' mud;
sprout leaf and bud.

Next month brings May!
   We're on our way.
      Sun's warm and bright;
new blooms in sight.

Then June is here!
   We smile and cheer,
      and claim our prize!
Fun days, blue skies!

Actually, in the 6th stanza, I refer to April as 'month four'. Couldn't use the word 'April', since it has two syllables! Thanks again, hugs, Sandra.
