January is mean, he seems cold as ice,
barren, cold, and is not very nice.
February stays mad because he is small,
save for his leap, not noticed at all.
March acts so wild, he wears a lions crown,
but ends up tame and leaves with a frown.
April is emotional and sheds many tears,
seems to cry, the whole time she's here.
May is a gardner and flowers she grows,
soon they bloom and then off she goes.
June is romantic and loves weddings a lot,
wears sexy dresses, man is she hot.
July is a teaser and sure makes you sweat,
shows off her fireworks then leaves you wet.
August is a player and he loves them all,
married to summer, wants to bed fall.
September is a fighter and sure tries to win,
he starts out quite well, but has to give in.
October is an artist, she loves to paint trees,
goes mad at the end and steals all the leaves.
November is a loner and he blows with the wind,
but never forgets to give thanks in the end.
December is cold, but he casts a strong spell,
helps us get presents, but expensive as well.
These months we name to make up our year,
many bring us joy, some bring us tears.
These months we name and we pray they go on,
so our children know them, after we've gone.

A good poems, with an interesting use of personification. Made me laugh, as well as being such a true piece of work on the season. Thank you for entering the contest!

I really liked this a lot very imaginative and the message at the end fitted in very nicely. The descriptions of each month worked really well, my favourite lines would have to be:
'October is an artist, she loves to paint trees,
goes mad at the end and steals all the leaves.'
I think gardner is spelt gardener, you may want to check cause spelling isn't my strong point. Great piece. Good luck in the contest.

Good poem! I like April, but I'm not sure I like the way you described it. Let me check. Uh... Oh! You must be making the months as if they are people. I get it! It a really great poem, and Idon't think I could make a poem about the year. Ugh! I hope it wasn't hard to make this poem. Make more stuff!
Beyond Da` (Awsome) Craziness!
