January
Winter’s bone
Gnawed, taunts
Dogs who hone
Jaws on bone
February (Valentine)
Last year’s rut
Stoned in mud
Bemoans my love
March
Clay gapes
As rain pelts
Snow away
Ice melts
April (Fool)
Stars I leap
Clearing a puddle
Why was I deep
In a muddle?
May
A fanfare of ferns
Assembled upon air
Expands everywhere
June
The glazed bay
Anchored hulls
Sky silvering
The cry of gulls
July
Who would eat
An egg you fry
On the sidewalk,
In July?
