Lovely images for a February day! ~ Bette A. Stevens
FEBRUARY (Excerpt from “The Months”)
by Linda Pastan
After endless
hibernation
on the windowsill,
the orchid blooms—
embroidered purple stitches
up and down
a slender stem.
Outside, snow
melts midair
to rain.
Abbreviated month.
Every kind of weather.
