“January Shivers” by Cindy Georgakas

January shivers,
cry rivers of reflection.
A bun dance:
Gratitude of past highlights,
rejection and future projection.
 
The freeze stops us in our tracks with clarity to stand still.
 
Ring around the rosy,
a pocket full of posey,
the children giggle and dance
with Jack Frost nipping at their nose.
 
Icicles invite warm fires, hot cider,
snuggles and diamond dripping prisms to behold.
 
Embers of hope and faith,
ring in January shivers.
as we toast to our deepest quivers.
