Through These Months

Poems that Tell Stories

By Em E. LeePublished 7 years ago 1 min read

In January my heart was thawed,

In February it refused to go still.

In March it saw it was truly flawed

But kept on singing long through April.

May be the month that it was set free

And June saw the days when it couldn’t ever be tamed.

In July it sparked like the fireworks you’d see.

In August it promised to be the source of no blame.

September, it ended.

October, it began to die.

November, when it thought of January and all the months that rhymed

And thus prayed it would survive the Christmas month’s winter.
