New Year Punctuation

The days they are the letters
and the spaces in between.
The weeks the phrases
commas separate.

The months are stopped by periods,
A question mark or two,
Or exclamation points
for feelings strong.

These sentences are captured
in quarterly paragraphs.
In June the chapter finds
It's natural end.

We have until December
To attain the dénouement,
But edit? No. Once writ,
The die is cast.

To all who see these presents, greetings!
Happy New Year!

Let's make it sing!
