Yes, February patiently waits for the arrival of spring. Yes, it is time to hand over the baton to the next in line. Beautiful haiku.

And I always thought of February as impatient. 28 days and out the door... Good riddance, I say.

I agree....February is short in days but seems like the longest month ever!

Such a wonderful haiku, Sara. I love the second line and sense of the movement of the season all wrapped up in seventeen syllables. Such vibrant imagery! Time to trade the crown! Hugs and blessings!
