February

February’s in limbo,
spring still on the way,
and winter oh, so slow to go…
or is it here to stay?

Or, to be more positive:

Anticipating

Eggs
are opening;
hives
are opening;
dens
are opening;
doors
are opening;

wings
are opening;
eyes
are opening;
beaks
are opening;
jaws
are opening:

spring is opening.

Summer is waiting.
