February Thoughts

There is quick snap to February's wind
tossing the limbs end over end.
Little buds cling on tight, waiting for the
sun's warmth to remove winter's bite.

Leaves are scattered here and there, but 
the gates of the park are open everywhere.
Children laughing and playing still, they pay
no notice that spring has yet to make it here.

The smell of coffee brewing is in the air, warm
mittens & scarfs in cheerful colors, stand
out everywhere. February's sky filled with grey
leaves not a person in the park in disarray.
