Greetings,

I have 365 short poems; one for each day of the year. I thought I'd wrap each month in an enumeration and use the item numbers as titles. My MWE raises several questions:

How do I center an index above its item?

How do I keep an index and its item together?

How do I keep an item's text together? Here I've resorted to an ugly kludge where I wrap each item in a \start-\stopframedtext pair. What's the right way?

Perhaps an itemized list is the wrong approach. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

With kind regards,

Michael
