Favorite Aunts are Coming

February already?
Aunts are here to play with me
Time has gone by oh so fast
Since the day they were here last
One more day I'll have to cope
They will never leave, I hope
(Katie, New Rochelle, NY)
Baby Pax

My brother laughs at my jokes
And cries when I give him pokes
Mom says, "soft, to make him smile"
I respond a little while
Then I poke to show my love
Mom is glad it's not a shove

Sledding

Get your coat it’s time to go!
Hurry! Run! We’ll miss the snow!
Sun is stretching out his arms
Cross the white and chilly farms -
Get your boots, your mitts and hat!
Melting slopes we’ll sled – Whoa! SPLAT!
(Sarah, Concord MA)
February

In February, we always forget
That the wintertime isn't over yet
We get one day - bright sun, fifty degrees
And we think it's time to be on our knees

In the garden! Or going to the park!
We can play outside until almost dark!
But, alas, it stays but one day or two
Next day we find snow - and winter anew.
(Jessica, Marlborough, MA)

Born in Britain

Kev is a wee, mischevious fairy
with a compulsive addiction to tea.
Don’t tempt him with juice, water, or dairy.
Just cosy the pot, sit tight, and you’ll see.

Top up his mug and he’ll grin like a bug;
deny him a sip and out comes that lip.
He’ll offer to share, but always beware;
A pot that's for three is just right for he.
(Amy, Brookline, MA)
Night Lights

Tiny lights sit in the sky
When I lift my eyes up high
Blinking, twinkling, could it be
Airplane winking down at me?
Then I see one late at night:
Bird flies by with his flashlight!
(Sarah, Concord MA)
Artist

I like to draw using glue
Faces for my folks to view
Glasses that my Daddy wears
On top I squirt seven hairs
The art I love is sticky
And cleaning it is tricky
(Cary, Boulder, CO)
For Sam

Bounce around the house to find
Animals of varied kinds
There's a lion on the stairs,
Sloths asleep beneath the chairs
And two owls who hoot, "Hello"
To us all way down below.
(Becca, Bear DE)
