The Twelfth Month

Close to the track's end,
Jumping over the last hurdle,
Hope stands beside us to stitch and mend,
Thoughts of unfulfilled desires saddle.

Walking through the end's door,  
 A few miles to go across the border,
A tick, a tock and more,
Each dawn chauffeurs us further.

Christmas is here,
A time to give and share,
Celebrating the birth of God’s son,

Twelfth Night - O Christmas Tree

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
How bright and cheery there you be
Your twinkling lights so numerous
Your chocolate baubles humorous 

I stand and stare, you’re standing there,
With golden tinsel everywhere
Your shining star, how bright you are
You travelled from so very far

These neighbourhoods which have no woods
We love our oriental goods
So have no fear, we’ll keep you

The Twelfth of Never

I took a walk in winter
And I gazed upon the hills
My burdens suddenly lifted
And my heart was free of ills

Around me swirled the snowflakes 
Tumultuous as the sea
My soul felt lighter and lighter
As trembling, I fell to my knees

Mind flying with the stars
As feelings bounce and ricochet
The burning of my breath
Is by the cold washed

The Twelfth of Never

What is the twelfth of never?
Where can it be found?
Is it at the end of ever?
deep within the ground.

Does it exist behind the eye?
of the endless folds of brain
Or is it in the fruitless cry
of an infant’s starving pain?

What is the twelfth of never?
Is it a metaphor or rhyme
that speaks only to the clever
not to

The Twelfth of Never

Your music plays till the twelfth of never, 
I carry grief with your heart forever. 

I will love you as I do as time flies, 
Soft songs of spring until forever dies. 

This muffled place of your death done sever 
A beat branch to your last breath endeavor.

Sublime, vigilance amber sunset rise,
Morrow's morning darkness, crush

The Twelfth of Never

Some say the twelfth of never is an awfully long time
Like infinity multiplied many times over by infinity
How long it takes to find just the appropriate rhyme
When my oldest son will establish a solid identity.

A young lad, like me, longed for Christmas in May
Wondered if his school days would ever come to an end,
The nine

The Twelfth of Never

I once secured a mortgage loan, never noticing the date on the statement.*                                          

The Twelfth of Never

On the thirteenth month on day thirty-three 
Four and twenty blackbirds sang in a tree 
In the darkest hour of mid-afternoon 
The calf of that cow jumped over the moon
 
Little Miss Muffet and her wee little spider 
Sipped apple strudel and ate apple cider 
Pregnant again, the old lady who resides in a shoe

The Twelfth of Never

The Twelfth of Never

On the twelfth of never,
When I saw the light.
Perhaps I was clever,
Perhaps I could fight.
My life force a lever,
Out of my sight.

On the twelfth of never,
The tunnel was White.
I walk forever,
In fault of my spite.
A heroic endeavor,
Extinguished my light.

On the twelfth of never,
I begin my flight.
It lasts forever,
A monumental height.
My body and

The Twelfth of Never

Excuse me, but I really don’t have time
I can’t stay I hope you don’t mind
Silly me, I’m always losing track
With your help I might get back
By a quarter to the twelfth of never

Pardon, could you point me in the right direction
Seems I’m at a crossroads, an intersection 
I’m all turned around, quite lost you see

The twelfth of never,                                                   

The Twelfth of Never

When cheerful daisies fail to bloom in Spring
and the buds dry on the vine;
when the robin no longer attempts to sing
and the rivers turn into brine;

when the fireflies of Summer do not glow
and the rain can’t reach the earth;
when the seven seas cease their ebb and flow
and the ship is mired in its berth;

when Autumn

Thursday March 12th, 2020 
The day before Spring break at school.
Three of us take forty-two sixty graders all over a college campus.
They are thrilled to be out of school.
We are all looking forward to tomorrow- Friday the 13th
Because it is the last day of school before spring break.

Twelfth Night By William Shakespeare

If music be the food of love, play on

Claim the streets of London be filled, and its revelry be still,
Purged the households, and bay at their homes window sills,
Let tender labyrinths yield their cleared halls be an open song,
Spilled venturous notes befall upon unscripted pages, play on,
The summer breeze aloft butterflies to mingle the redolent
