A Colorful Year (poem collection)
January
Silver sings
such sweet songs,
a whisper of moonlight
February
Red might shout
but what red’s really about
is something akin to passion
March
Yellow unfolds in morning,
leaning into the blue of sky,
a reminder of why we find joy
in small moment
April
Green sleeps unbidden,
a hidden seed in the weeds
waiting for a moment to dance
May
Pink is punk,
the unexpected beautiful voice
of a passionate embrace
June
Blue, like strings
on a beat-up guitar;
strummed chords that find you,
wherever you are
July
Orange burns
from its center, first,
and then extends itself
outwards
August
Purple hides and hints
at transformation,
a small creation of wonder
and love
September
Teal and turquoise –
color cousins –
holding hands
as twilight calls
October
Brown, fingers dirty
from digging,
the Earth is singing
something sweet
November
Gray days,
but not always gloom;
there’s room for all
emotion
December
Gold holds us in
the magic of each moment;
