February

For better or worse... Ever the thinker, ever the worrier Brooding like the dark waters of the deep Restless, wandering, tormented soul Undying urge to answer the unanswered A need to solve that which is unsolvable... Return me to the seas where my answer lies Yes, let me swim those dark waters...again Birthdate: February 26, 1949 Contest finalized: 4/30/2016 Date written: 8/11/2015

Congrats Tim, i particularly like this piece for its departure from the usual stuff one expects in poems on the topic of months.

faye is right, it gets better with each reading, and i read it many times! i didn't quite get it initially, until i realized you were coming from the astrological pisces angle, then i understood it! it's very cleverly written, unique - congrats on your win in my contest!

Ah, Tim. Me thinks you describe yourself and not the month. Congratulations, my friend. Glad to see this on the winner's list; i loved it the first time I read it. It ripens with age.

wow, Tim, you went very personal, like in an astrological sort of way with yours! I hope she puts it on the winners' list. Me too!! I love when I get on a list of Charlotte's. Lincoln, my hero, was born in this month, and this poem reminds me of Lincoln, so good and yet so melancholy he was. were you describing Pisces in here too? with the sea imagery?
