Madison period 5

Once upon a dreamy night,
There was a wind that sent out a fright!
But it happened to be ordinary,
Only a sign of a frightful February.

The wind howled like the local band,
With snow dripping like sand from a hand.
The people were all cozy just like bugs in a rug,
Dreading the snow that would have to be dug.

When all that happened was said and done,
The children went out and had their winter fun.
The parents went out and cleared the streets,
Waiting for flip flop weather for their feet.

As the next season rolled around,
The people went out and had found,
That February isn't so frightful,
And Spring time allergies are no were near delightful.

  1. 1) It's about February and snow.
    2) 2n stanza 2nd line, do you mean melting snow or snow falling from the sky?
    3) In the last stanza you're talking about how spring wasn't any better then winter right?
    4) I don't have any other questions about the peom.

    February - cold, winter, love, Valentines Day, snowmen, shoveling, colds, cold winds, chills, warm beds.

  2. It's about winter, partically Februrary. It's a really good poem. One question I have about line 2 of stanza 1 is: What does wind have to do with February? One question I have about the third stanza is: Is it a snow day or a weekend? One queastion I have about the entire poem is: What was so bad about Februrary in the first place?
    The similies and/or metaphors are "like the local band", "like sand from a hand","like bugs in a rug", I don't see a fourth.
