FEBRUARY

24 comments


FEBRUARY CAN BE FAIR OF FACE
AS IT CASTS THE SUN ON THE GARDEN PLACE
ITS WARMTH JUST A LITTLE TO LIFT YOUR SOUL
BUT STILL IT CAN BE SO COLD.

THE NORTH WINDS BLOW
AND BRING THE SNOW
OUR GARDENS TURNING WHITE

AND STARRY SKIES
SO VERY BRIGHT
BRINGS FROST
AS IT TURNS TO LIGHT

THE BIRDS START TO TWITTER
NO, NOT ON THE NET
BUT IN THE GARDENS AROUND
AND IF YOU TAKE A GENTLE STROLL
YOU MIGHT HAVE EVEN FOUND

SOME HELLEBORES, SO BEAUTIFUL
AND TINY SNOWDROPS HIDING
AND BULBS A PEEPING THROUGH
WAITING FOR THE SPRING
JUST LIKE ME AND YOU

YES FEBRUARY CAN BE FAIR OF FACE
OR COLD AS COLD AS STONE
BUT ONES THINGS FOR SURE
IT DOESNT STAND ALONE

ITS STANDING NEXT TO MARCH
TO WELCOME IN THE SPRING
AND AS WE SAY GOODBYE TO IT
WE WELCOME MARCH
AND ALL THE JOY IT BRINGS.

(WELL I HOPE SO ANYWAY……)

Yes, like everyone one above says your poem, interspersed with photos of bulbs, is great.
Bulbs on my balcony are making a stir now. I've had species Crocuses in flower for the last few weeks & the mini Daffs are well up. The Hyacinths are showing their noses above the compost as well. :-)

thanks Balcony..... your bulbs are ahead of mine.... although my Tulips are coming out but i bought these already starting to grow...

27 Feb, 2010

 

I've taken some photos of them & I think I will make a blog with them. I've seen plenty of Crocuses around town now flowering & I've come across more snowdrops that aren't in people's gardens.

I even came across some mini Cyclamen flowering outside a village hall yesterday! Loving looking things even if the garden is rather abandoned.
