Write one standard haiku verse of 17 syllables that describes the month which follows the month written about by the previous poster. I'll kick things off with January...
January
Fresh starts and morn frosts
Like infinite fractured suns,
Sparkle in the grass.
@iamsam82,
February
Blue-skinned winds bend hands
Round breaths; in snow-scuffed pockets.
Small warmths are hoarded.
@iamsam82,
March
See a sign of Spring!
Green fingers puncture last frosts,
Grown daffodil-bold.
@iamsam82,
April
The paschal bells ring:
"He bled for Man to eat eggs."
The month of all fools.
@iamsam82,
May
May days come and go
with festivals about Spring
or about Workers.
@ossobucotemp,
June
The lick of summer
Tantalises brave arms bared.
Winds make promises.
@iamsam82,
July
Albuquerque in
July brings one hundred or
higher degree days.
@ossobucotemp,
August
The sun pours honey,
Wilting laughing beachgoers.
Work's shadow draws near.
@iamsam82,
October
Amidst trees aflame
With dying leaves and kernels,
Thoughts are trodden brown.
@iamsam82,
November
The rains have a bite,
An edge, the gales remind them
They had forgotten.
@iamsam82,
December
Things and times to come
Lie waiting, boxed in paper.
Have the hand to tear.
@iamsam82,
JANUARY:
An arbitrary
placeholder for people who
need self-directives.
@tsarstepan,
February
Brings birthdays of old
friends and relatives long known.
Time is flying by.
@ossobucotemp,
March
Named for a war god,
The month has conflicting climes:
For each beam, a drop.
@ascribbler,
MAY:
What are you doing
so far from the beginning
of December's reign?
June
Too many f'ing
brides; weddings everywhere and
all are overpriced
