Mischievous Month
February, that small scamp
Greeted us with warmth and cheer,
Tricking us into belief
Spring is premature this year.
February whistled and
Winter answered to his call.
Arctic winds from frozen north
Caused the mercury to fall.
Some were tricked to early prune,
Taking February's dare.
If prized plants succumb to freeze,
February doesn't care.
Spring is much to wise to trust
February's flirt and tease.
She'll delay her entrance for
March's warm and trusted breeze.
