I Remember January

The time of resolution

when frost is spectre-grey.

Yes, I remember January, 

much to my dismay. 


It's the start of a brand new year, 

much better than the last. 

Of course changing months

makes you forget the past. 


It's the 'season of change'

but everything is dead. 

When the wind is bitter cold 

and I can't get out of bed. 


All around me, 

people use euphemisms

to describe this season 

of personified cynicism. 


Ignore January. 

Brush it under the carpet. 

Look forward to the years 

that haven't yet started. 


Be around your loved ones;

laugh and cheer. 

Have a good one, my friend. 

Happy New Year.
