I wrote this poem, borrowing images from John Updike’s poem “January” from A Child’s Calendar.

February
I am not a poet, but I occasionally get ideas that can only be expressed in poems. I wrote the poem below in response to the poem “January” by John Updike in A Child’s Calendar. I love these poems. While I like the one Mr. Updike wrote about “February”, my poem better reflects my feelings about the month.
February
The wind is grayer.
The days are colder.
The month gets longer
As it gets older.
At first we loved
The clean, bright glow.
But now it’s simply
Snow on snow on snow on snow ….
