January

I am cold

And regret the rain.

I am told

Sun will come again.

For now, happy new year!

For January drear is here!

Happy new year!

A Poem for the New Year

“Janus” appears in my collection “More Poetic Meanderings”, which was published in 2023:

 

 

Janus waits in the wings.

As with previous dead years

He will bring

Laughter and tears.

 

Doors open and close.

The futurologist thinks he knows

What the future holds.

 

But Janus thumbs his nose,

And history goes

On as before;

And where it goes

Heaven only knows.

 

Well Spoken Girl

A girl well spoken.

The doors that could open

close

on this delicate rose.

The primrose path to hell is sweet

But the way back will defeat

Those who walk on dainty feet.

Don’t judge a book by it’s cover

Or you may discover

Something other

Than you bargained for.

Janus stands atop the door

while the raven does khaw.
