Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Farewell To February

I bid farewell to February,
Month of ice and snow.
No one living in the north
Is sad to see it go.

Although it is the shortest month,
It wasn’t short enough,
Sending us conditions
Most uncomfortable and rough.

I’m well aware that March might hang
On February’s tails
And thus the possibility
Of cold and snow prevails.

Yet psychologically, at least,
I’m thrilled to say goodbye.
The calendar says “Spring” in March
If Nature will comply.

Andrea Dietrich March 1, 2015 at 6:33 PM I hope it complies for you, dearie. WE actually got some sprinkles of snow flakes from the sky today and the other day!! Not seen a huge pile of snow since around Xmas time!! So strange the weather this year. As always, your poem is superb.

Arthur Vaso March 1, 2015 at 6:00 PM I loved this, here was the coldest February on record, and I am mad at Al Gore, I sold all my winter clothes cause of him!!!!

Leo Larry Amadore March 1, 2015 at 3:05 PM I've always enjoyed February (depending upon where I was during that month), especially since it is such a short month, and because of the special days (MLK day, Valentine's, President's Day, and my sister's birthday.) But. I'm also delighted to see it go, as are you; and, I very much liked your poem...

Matthew Anish March 1, 2015 at 12:53 PM What a heavy snow today here in the Big Apple I too, am waiting for spring to finally arrive. I just had a poem published in the Voices Israel Newsletter. If you want to check out that website. They have plenty of poems from Israel and also other countries. March come in like a lion but goes out like a lamb! B'Shalom Matthew Anish
