In January
beautiful tracery
of skeletal branches on clear skies
cool blue
cloudscapes
near-sunset tinges
– back-lighting glow.

Nice words Rhiannon. You really bring out the colours of a month that many folks might consider a bit dull.

Beautiful, and beautifully
Beautiful, and beautifully illustrated too. I can't say I'll be sad to see the back of January though! Thank you for this Rhiannon

really like "cool blue / cloudscapes". There's something sculptural about January, isn't there? Like we are down to the bones of everything

As the sky changes colour
As the sky changes colour with its pallet of pale pink, blue, purple, orange and white, your poem sets the scene in such a way, that seeing those naked branches brings their beauty to life.
Lovely expressive poem Rhiannon.

spring?
You are nearing the end of winter, sounds like a good prospect. We in South Africa are having general elections we're in for sports. And yes, skeletons in all the closets and worms everywhere coming out the woodwork...
All the best Rhiannon! Nolan &
