January slips into the past
As shorter month takes stage to play her part.
Blithely unaware of pain she brings,
Ignoring once again my frozen heart.

He says,  take your appeal 
to the big man upstairs

The newest Leap Year beckons women to make a heartfelt move
while promising to be true to the soul and actions
I have knelt down because it's time that I propose to you, 
even impromptu, promising to say "I do" with Celtic words: Aoibhneas, Baile.
I love you...

It's another new uncommon day
A day that comes just once in every four yrs
I'm happy I'm alive to see today

homogenized, marginalized, satirized... place names

Twenty-twenty, would then leap an added four more,
Leap at each fourth year, a day February would score, 
As for a century leaps at every four hundred years.

Truth wears a face as grace brings light,
Hope flings a trace with space for sight;


Ink stains now style fond smiles in place,
Sense feel worthwhile that piles brisk pace.


Live thus true fest with zest that glows,

   What is the number of years

   on a frog duo warbling so loudly

Leap Year's "poll" vault
Olympic primary trials
Push-over leaps by party default
others limp away with denials.
Sis boom bah; blah, blah, blah, 
"poll'-itics and the media.

Doors of hope open, walls are falling
A new beginning, a new calling
The transition is over, you are in a new field
A new leap year is granted

In this new firing range
New targets may seem strange
But fear not, you'll hit every one
For every challenge will be shot...
