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

January is a wicked month. For me it is a reminder of three loved ones who departed this plane in this month. Also the anti climax after Christmas and the cold bareness outdoors. Roll on spring to wash those blues away. Hope all is well Fran.

I enjoyed your poem. Tis the season for hot tea, coffee and cocoa for certain. I bundle up and take the birds seed every morning. I don't have pets but the birds and squirrels benefit from their absence. Stay warm, my friend.
