Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. This week’s theme, as the days grow shorter and colder, is the approach
of winter.
Today’s poem is for February, who must bear being the
coldest month.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
February knows his fortune well,
Even in the bitterness of dawn
Breaking in the coldest hour of hell,
Revealing but the worst that must be borne.
Underneath the ice the passions sleep
Ablaze with all the beauty of their burning,
Rendering a richness that will keep
Yet warm within the cavern of his yearning.
