Black February

Grasp of Black February, shadows linger,
Beneath a weary sky, cold and stark,
Land lies dormant, frost-bound slumber,
Awaiting Spring's first spark.

Trees stand sentinel, branches bare,
Against a muted world,
Silhouettes like brushstrokes rare,
On skies where gray clouds swirled.

River's flow hushed, surface sealed,
Ice glints beneath moon's glow,
Hidden strength revealed,
Stars watch the world below.

Winter's depth, silent reign,
Promise whispers beneath snow,
Life stirs, reclaiming again,
Beauty lost to February's woe.

Black February, a yearly pause,
Time for rest, reflection true,
Honor the past, hold it dear,
Ready hearts for what's to brew.
Bare trees against a muted, cloudy sky
Bare trees against a muted, cloudy sky

Inspiration Behind

As I walked through the chilling embrace of February, I couldn’t help but notice the stark beauty that surrounded me. The world seemed paused, caught in a breath between the exhalation of winter and the inhalation of spring. This duality of stillness and the underlying thrum of life waiting to burst forth inspired me. “Black February” was born from my desire to capture this moment of quietude, the serene beauty of the natural world in its most introspective phase, and the subtle, yet inexorable, promise of renewal that lies hidden beneath the surface.

    March Poems for Preschoolers

    March’s Silly Dance March comes in, on tiptoes light,Wearing clouds, fluffy and bright.Sometimes sun, sometimes rain,March can’t make up its brain!Ducks in puddles, quack in choir,Worms pop up, to mud aspire.Flowers giggle, in the breeze,Trees play tag, with busy bees.Snow might visit, just to wave,Then it’s off, March can’t behave.Coats on, off, then on again,March’s…
