February


Falling snowflakes like delicate lace, and
Every tree is draped in pure white
Beyond my window pane . . .
Relentlessly drop these gifts from God
Utterly beautiful this time of year . . .
And the wind wails like violins, with the
Rhapsody of chirping birds
Yellow, in a snow covered tree

Hell, I would have given you a seven just for being born in February, but your poem earned those marks on its own merit with good flow and great word choices that brought your thoughts across well. Emile. #7
