Feb Fatale

alone and brave
so proudly he waves
born against frosty Wind
fragile, solitary Sprout


doesn't he know
come one fatal Snow
or one life-crushing Storm
that he'll surely be snuffed out?

I like this one, Donna. Puts me in mind of the birds and squirrels digging in the snow for just one sprout to feast on. This particular winter in Michigan is endless. Good write. Love, daver

The image of Utah, the crops and plants always get ahead of the last frost, well put in your short but discriptave poem. A joy to read, still gives us hope for warmer weather when anything sprouts. Nice work, creative. Judy riley
