Today, we’re happy to share a collection of classic and contemporary February poems !
The year’s shortest month is certainly packed full of observances and celebrations–from Black History Month to Valentine’s Day to the beginning of Lent. Depending on where you live, you are likely still deep in the throes of winter as well. We hope these February poems can be gentle and thought-provoking companions as you make your way through this brief month.
Featuring poems by Emily Dickinson, Pauli Murray, William Carlos Williams, and more!
Winter Trees
William Carlos Williams
All the complicated details
of the attiring and
the disattiring are completed!
A liquid moon
moves gently among
the long branches.
Thus having prepared their buds
against a sure winter
the wise trees
stand sleeping in the cold.
