January Blues

January's freakish funk
        sunk my mind
  Its bitter pill
      bites with frigid teeth

to depth of chilled bones
      from white frozen covers

 holding no blankets of warmth

has me blue ..oh..so blue 

and dazed.... staring into
     an icy moon's haze

I think January gets a bad wrap. It follows the end of all the holidays, starts a brand new year, and has the reputation of being one of the coldest months of winter. There's at least two more months to weather, Fran. Stay warm my friend, and think spring!

[Fran Marie]

Thank you Kelly🌹
yes indeed keeping warm
in Kentucky,Happy New Year

[Betty Hermelee]

I feel your emotion in this poem and I have it as well.... your words are beautiful, really expressing the color of January....blue as is many of our souls....frigid earth and bare trees makes us yearn for spring to arrive...and quickly.....we can't even get enough blankets to warm our core....I love the phrase " the icy moon's haze".....
Nice write Fran!
Best, B

Since my favorite color is blue, the blues mean something a little different to me.
Blue is a magical color. This writing is a little magical too, though, as icing and chilling as it is,
well done.

this reminds me of when I was in Pennsylvania. by January I was getting cabin fever as I stared out the window waiting for spring.

I almost count down the days in January and, yet, if you look very closely, you can just see the first, delicate, signs of Spring, by the end of month.

dearest Fran… my feelings exactly… you feel the Chill more each year. The Sun May bring Warmth at Noon; however the frozen Snow is shoveled with a Path with Ice Melt so as not to slip and fall. The Promise of Spring is in our 💜 Heart when the Earth will awaken with the 🎶 Song of a Meadow Lark. tenderly, Pat

[Fran Marie]

yes..with the coming of spring
everything renewed and green
Thanks dear Pat I so appreciate
your lovely reviews on my poetry😊
