January

A look to the start of your year.

Janus our God you open the doorway,

Release the old and sweep the floor,

Bristles cling to mistakes and wisp,

Above a coil of wind lands to moor.

Saxons names you wolf month once,

For reasons of guarding the field,

Teeth bared and telling to stop quick,

Release a guide to help one yield.

Cottage pinks grow free from garnets,

Colours flood the mind and make free,

Soft touching and truths roam endless,

Ah the tramp now left on decree.

Plough Sunday nestles deep in your breast,

Burns night has lasting first members,

Martin Luther King Jr. celebrated in states,

Republic Day also has rose from the embers.

Author's Note

Just a review of the first month of the year.

Reviews

[Priscilla Sayers]

Martin Luther King, Jr. Is one of my heroes... As a child he was the one who spoke out for all races not just his own. Growing up as a child mixed with so many different nationalities was hard, but some how clinging to his words helped me raise my head high.
I love that you have started the New year with this piece, my sweet Thomas. You are a Jewel.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Thank you my darling, I'm glad you enjoyed this piece.

[Priscilla Sayers]

I've missed reading your work Love.
Yet my absence is due to so many things in Life that has had me running or hiding....
Thank you for always being so gracious

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Not at all, I'm only recently back to full swing myself, make sure and be happy x

[Priscilla Sayers]

I promise I am trying real hard to be happy. There is really nothing to be so sad about, well unless you count the loss of compassion and humanity in humans:(
Otherwise I am truly blessed. yet, that doesn't always keep the darkness from blanketing your Soul

Party on in ice! Love the line 'plough Sunday nestles deep in your breast". A fire, a bottle J W Black, and snow on the window are some of the cold/warm images I get from this.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Thank you Mark x

[John Alexander McFadyen]

A nice review Thomas. Have you thought of working for the BBC? Seriously this draws together stimulating images of January as a month.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

It is certainly a thought John, thank you x

Janus our God you open the doorway,
Release the old and sweep the floor,
Bristles cling to mistakes and wisp,
Above a coil of wind lands to moor.

Yes … we should all do a little sweeping. Great one penned.

Thank you Pryde x
