Thank you Jack. Your visit indirectly reminded me of Cherl Dunn, the one who last commented on this poem, and who a year later passed away. ~ regards // paul

I'm so so sorry you missed the deadline with this lovely write, Paul. It is simply beautiful. :) At least now I know when your birthday is. This is a great contest to know that info. I had May....So, it was a real pain. I started working on it, but gave up. Hugs

I would get on quite well with February, were it not for the cold! Each month has its pros and cons. ~ Thank you for stopping by:) ~ All the best // paul

You've included so much that represents the beautiful month of February, in just 8 lines... It's too bad you missed the deadline. I'm sure this would have done well... A lovely acrostic, Paul!

Glad you like this, Andrea; this contest filled quickly! January and February are usually our coldest months, so winter it is! Carnival is held in February, too. // paul
