The Mask of Months

I wore a mask of January 

And I thought of new beginnings.

I wore a mask of February

And celebrated love.

I wore a mask of March

And ate a fresh-baked pie.

I wore a mask of April

And played pranks on my friends.

I wore a mask of May 

And went to Harry’s birthday

And ate chocolate cake.

I wore a mask of June.

I was free from school 

And played with friends down the lane.

I wore a mask of July 

And had a picnic with my family,

The sandwiches curling from the sun.

I wore a mask of August

And celebrated llamas day.

I wore a mask of September 

And knew the harvest would come soon.

I wore a mask of October 

And cake and presents awaited me.

I wore a mask of November 

And went to Milford for firework night,

Colours exploding in the sky.

I wore a mask of December 

And trembled with excitement,

Wondering if Santa had been.
