Why should we only have February to honor pies
Every month why not have a different pie to celebrate?
Don’t pies, all year long, put shine in everyone’s eyes?
Twelve different delicacies that are indeed first rate
Cherry, blueberry, strawberry, apple, peach and pumpkin beside
In any season winter, summer, fall or spring baking pies smell so good
Lemon, custard, pecan, rhubarb, chocolate and coconut hard to decide
Pies are equally enjoyed at any time of life as a child and in adulthood
Bake them, share them, enjoy them, give them to your family forever
Not just fruit, savory meat pie, nut pie and delicious peanut butter too
You know to add your secret spice and love, you're such a baker clever
And don’t forget no bake chiffon ice box pie, Mom made just for you

Writing Prompt |
So, February is upon us... and it doesn't JUST mean Valentines! In fact, it COULD mean a whole host of other things... but you must CHOOSE ONE. That's right! The link below will bring you to the humongous list of things for which February has been designated the official month for.
https://nationaldaycalendar.com/february-monthly-observations/
Your poetry assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to pick ONE of those items on that list and write a TWELVE LINE RHYMED POEM about it. There is no specified meter or rhyme scheme, so it's totally up to you how the rhythm will work for your month choice. However, when it's all said and done, it must be EXACTLY TWELVE lines and it must RHYME. Remember to include your chosen month designation in your author notes!!
Please keep it CLEAN (I've seen some of those choices on there) and kick it up a notch with your presentation: make us WANT to celebrate February for your choice.... and, of course, want to vote for your Feb-Fun Poem!!
Good luck and run over there and choose.....we're all waiting!! ;-) ;-)
