January By: John Updike

The days are short,

    The sun a spark

Hung thin between 

    The dark and dark

Fat snowy foot steps

    Track the floor.

Milk bottles burst

Outside the door.

    The river is

    A frozen place

Held still beneath

The trees of lace.

Early Morning By: Hilare Belloc
The moon on the one hand,
The dawn on the other:
The moon is my sister,
The dawn is my brother,
The moon on my left and
The dawn on my right-
My brother good morning;
my sister good night.

Science By: Caitlin Bay
I know you this year
  I knew you last year
But never the year before.
  I was living without:
Metric units,
  Measuring tricks,
Silly songs of water;
  Who taught me what was what ,
And the many things that count.
  I will never know without you why:
water runs,
  And birds sing;
High in the sky above.
  Oh science teach me,
What is what,
  So that I may pass it on.
***This poem is in honer of the 1/2 lunar eclipse tonight, and the transit of Venus tomorrow, that only occurs twice every 120 years! :) I'm honored to be able to experience it!!! :) :) :) :)
