Drats! I'm out of 6 stars usually this late in the week.
A very musical and breezy
poem. I was glad to read a
cheerful poem after all the
negative news out there
these days. All the best to
you and your family!

Your poem illustrates just how quickly the months go by. The reminds me of a movie I love, "Holiday Inn," in which the inn was open only on the holidays. Excellent rhyme and flow. Good idea to begin and end with the same sentence. Good work to start off the new year. judi

Ciao !

Your poem is delightful. Bright idea and the rhyme makes the read smooth.

The first 4 lines are my favourtie.

Personally, I think you should have taken the time to add some artwork.

I have been told that poetry should be without but I still would have loved t a splash of colour.

Keep safe!

really enjoyed your light-hearted & clever poem that's so appropriate for the start of the new year! It reminds me of my numerous "to-do" lists that somehow don't quite get done! So, thanks for the reminder of all the good times to expect in 2023! Great job!

I like your January countdown calendar, Bill. Time seems to be fast forwarding very quickly. Too quick. My favorite seasons are Thanksgiving and Christmas. Sending you my best today as always.

I enjoyed "Coming Up," Bill. You've covered it all and have gone full circle. It's strange to think that this is life in a nutshell or, at best, what we look forward to throughout the year. Best, JohnC

This is a jaunty little poem taking you thoughtout the years with the holidays, some of which aren't days we when everyone takes off and we don't get mail. All the month got recognized except August where you took your break.

Bill,
I'm so sorry I spent my six stars because this poem is exceptional. The way you deftly catch the ambience of each holiday makes the poem.

Your words are very effective!

Great free verse poem.
Good luck with this one, Bill!
Blessings,
Cindy
