January

January 24, 2013 By Talya Tate Boerner

It's beginning to look like January

Birds chirp
sunlight dances
thoughts pass through my mind.
Fir trees tossed curbside still smell of
Christmas.

    We’re asked to put live trees curbside so they can be picked up and put in the lakes–fish habitat. Nice cinquain.
