it is not a leap year
yet our heart knows this not
and so springs forth in exuberance 
vibrant and aglow in the flame 
of divine bliss magnetism...

Here's wishing you all
a fine, fun-filled leap year day;
it's a rarity

To most, it's meh day,
to a few, it's a big deal.
Have fun nonetheless!

Leap Year's "poll" vault
Olympic primary trials
Push-over leaps by party default
others limp away with denials.
Sis boom bah; blah, blah, blah, 
"poll'-itics and the media.

Tomorrow will be leap day 
this 
leap year
perhaps it would have been better if 
today was leap day
and the guilt for the just consumed
chocolate muffin 
would be wiped out for 
nearly
four years....

I wonder where I am today?
Could it be in your lost heart?

Perhaps I am asleep in a love letter.

As usual,
I am at the edge of myself
ready to jump.

Today, I am a clock you reset
for one more leap year....

three hundred sixty-six days,
leap year comes every four years-
guess that means i'm but a girl...
turning ten years old

Leap year babes party every fourth year
When their birthday arrives they can cheer
But on a positive note
It would surely get MY vote
Getting old is something they won’t fear!

Cold, abbreviated February,
host to nobel, famous politicians.
Day commemorating dignitary,
valentines addressed on loving missions;
Cupid's bow delivers executions.
Leap year makes your stay a little longer,
winter's freeze and ice a wee bit stronger....

 Santa Claus, he scratched his beard
When he noticed something weird!
Christmas sales in summer? What a holiday hitch! 
“Add a day!”, said Father Time, “To fix this glaring glitch”.

mind suggests we leap
transcending the concept
of an extra day imaginary
brought forth on this day
being a leap year

a sunbird builds a nest
knowing only love
renewing within its heart
in the ever present now
with no memory imagery 

ah! to be the bird …...

How much time and heartbreak hurt will it take ?

And is Love worth it ?

Or is it Just ?

Listen to poem:

It is like that of a leaping rabbit who hop on all four,
Twenty-twenty, would then leap an added four more,
Leap at each fourth year, a day February would score, 
As for a century leaps at every four hundred years.

Mad moods mingle,
Align apt aim;
Dream daze dangles.
Move messy maime,
Oblige odd oomph;
Observe oil ooze,
Don dazzling doom;
Succumb sense snooze.
Mind misty moves,
Ink ires ingest;
Nice naughty noose,
Gain grumpy guess;
Laugh late leap-year,
Echo each ear!

LEAP YEAR
                  
     Jumping a day in February on every fourth year
     three hundred sixty-six days appear
     in a leap year, no error, clean clear,
     welcoming Olympic.

It isn’t a leap year 
So this is the end;
The month now has drawn to a close.
The winter has started
Its winding-down time
Depending on how the wind blows.

Tomorrow the calendar
Gets a new page
Since this one has used up its dates.
Now Lincoln and Washington
Get to relax;
The month filled with shamrocks awaits....

you have it in your hands,
and what i do not know.
what i have felt before
i couldn't feel again.
 
i know you know
that i know you know,
but to be yours 
is to be buried a month early.
 
the winter lasts for twenty hours
if this life is but a day.
as repetitive as a leap year birthday.
i know you know 
i'll stay....

While to myth seers, leap year is mysterious

Science explains it, never injurious

For me, the Lord meant such as victorious

Wondrous grand bonus for gracious day’s gift*.

*Ecclesiastes 3:13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.

March should start tomorrow
But it’s leap year, so it won’t.
For anyone who wants to flip
The calendar, please don’t.

To women who are pregnant,
If your labor starts tonight,
You have ‘til midnight to give birth
Or face your child’s plight…

Since a birthday you can’t celebrate
Each year must be the worst,
Though I’m sure some celebrations
Could be switched to March the first.

Another leap year and politics roll on,
and craziness has become the law of the land. 
Could geodynamo* caused by polar shifting
cause brains to short-circuit, because it's all electrical don't you know?

*Earth's magnetic field is created by the movement of molten metal—primarily iron—in the outer core, which produces electricity. This mechanism is referred to as the "geodynamo" because it operates in a similar manner to a bicycle dynamo lamp.
