Mischievous Mounth

February, that short scamp
Greeted us with warmth and cheer,
Tricking us into belief
Spring was premature this year.

February whistled and
Winter answered to his call.
Arctic winds from frozen north
Caused the mercury to fall.

Some were fooled to early prune,
Taking February's dare.
If prized plants succumb to freeze
February doesn't care.

Spring is much too wise to trust
February's flirt and tease.
She'll delay her entrance for
March's warm and trusted breeze.

Dear Joyce:

I had a few bulbs peeking up but with this frigid air I hate to think what is happening to them.  Guess it;s with us all the rest of the week too!
Enjoyed your poem.

Love
Betty Lou

Thanks Betty.  We are having our worst cold of the season right now, I guess of the decade accoring to the weather man.  The bulbs will likely be okay but some of the fruit trees our setting buds and they may take a hit.  Hope not.  Love, Joyce

ain't it the truth!  As a born and raised wisconsinite, I have to agree, both methaphorically, and meteorologically speaking.

Thanx for the read.

expertly written, dear Joyce. I love the flow.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

This made me smile to read.  
February flirts indeed!
March trails our sunny scamp
Tearfully sighing, cold and damp!

brrrrr!

Joyce, I loved this piece. Even here in so called Sunny Florida my yard is a shambles. Many dead and lying low. I will prune in mid March and try to tickle the desire to bloom again.  If not successful I will have a few barrels of trash and mulch to sort and begin again. Ah, Florida with its false promises.      best to you, martyjo

Dear Joyce

The weather of ours over here 'down under' has been quite 'tricky' too!

A nice poem and I liked the read.

Love Verbena xo
