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! Sandra M. Haight ~2nd Place~ Contest: 128 Words Sponsor: Silent One Judged: 02/04/2018 Rules: 4 words per line all 1 syllable each. So 4 syllables per line. 32 line poem, so in total 128 words.

This is really nice, Sandra- I am so fed up with winter! normally, winter here has occasional warm spells and sun, and all we get this year is either bitter cold or grey misery. Congrats on your win.

Thank you, Anne-Lise, for your visit and nice comments. 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.
