Februa, the Roman goddess of health
Hot showers, ice, soup, stirfrys, stircrazys, wealth
Sewing stays, crocheting hearts, piano practice
Jotted jumbles in journals, bleak blackness
Juncos, woodpeckers, sparrows at windblown feeders
Jane Brocket’s Lemon Cake eaters
Carafes of coffee, book packages, thick socks
St. Valentine’s letters, pencils, chalk
Laundry piles, fix-it piles, snow piles, lore
LEGOS, bits of paper, four stitches more
Up, down, down and up, bloody finger prick
Running, hemming, gray-day stitches, quick
Pen pal letters, loose threads, taxes due
Red quilt of a second month, darn pipes blew
The needle set down, the thread wound away
Glad this year, the 28th, be its very last day.

Thanks, Michele. It was a bittersweet month. ❤ We have to go through the valleys to stand on the mountain tops, right?! 🙂
