We left our names in January’s snow.
We melted February’s chocolate kisses on after-dinner lips.
We Marched to the same drummer on the drag of winter’s tale.
We washed away all doubts with April showers.
We carved our initials on May’s wet beach.
We giggled as June bugs landed in our tussled hair.
We saw our future on bursting fireworks night sky.
Our love was hotter than any August night could be.
Love’s labors were not lost as September slowly let summer go.
We carved out ardor triangles in the soft flesh of October’s fruit.
We gave thanks, broke wishbones, and our love soared to new heights as leaves rode November winds.
Like children we open each other’s December hearts under evergreen
landscaped living room.
We toast to yet another year of love with midnight kisses and resolved resolutions …
We toast to yet another year of love with midnight kisses and resolved resolutions

Charming poem. Sweet, but not syrupy. Nice images, playing on the edge of cliche without falling in. The fact that it’s a team effort just makes it all the more interesting. Looking forward to reading more from you both.
Lovely lovely poem to read. Such a delightful sequence to follow..
Thank you!!!
