"This Is jANUAR¥"
In Earth's dryness, you sprout
No leaves, yet your flowers blossom
Bearing fruits, fresh and succulent
The first fruits of a calender tree
With audacity, you herald the year
Setting the inklings for the rollercoasters
To the wise, a muse; a dark one
But a nightmare to the unprepared
On your terrain, resolutions are borne
Broken and mended at ease
Few scale through your rocky mountains
The rest, yielding to your scary depths
The fear of you is the exercise of wisdom
Your lessons await; to be learnt
Best timed during yuletide hangovers
Jolting men to their ultimate realities
Hurled at you are the insults; many
Longer than the Nile, they accuse you
For no one fault of yours
This is January; a first month's tale
