The Friday Fling Loves February!
This is a reprise of a Fling challenge offered this time of year in 2009. That was before I kept track of the number, but it was about Fling #16. All the images are the same, except the Fling and Finger posters and the CPC banner. I even kept the same font size and boldness originally used.
Valentine’s Day is coming up, and already there has been the usual flood of Valentiny and even Valenormous blogs. The subject of the moment is romantic love.
But what about other kinds of love? The things that make life worth living on a daily basis that do not involve romance and all that mushy stuff.
At this time of year, some people, especially in northern climes, tend to have fewer of those kinds of things than usual. Maybe that’s one reason February was the month Valentine’s Day was assigned to, because otherwise it seems too often to come up short in the “things we love” department, as well as in the number of days.
But there are still some things to love about life in February. After all, for instance, February has no less than four special days in it. There’s Groundhog Day on the 2nd, Lincoln’s birthday on the 12th, Valentine’s Day on the 14th and Washington’s birthday on the 22nd. I dare any other month to match that, even those lucky enough to have 31 days! What other month can say it has the birthdays of the top two Presidents of all time, a day that is Humpday no matter which day of the week it falls on, AND a gopher?
So let’s go look for things to love about February and put them in a poem! Any form or freeform, however you prefer to express what you love about living in February!
Let’s take the Friggin’ Fabulously Fun Friday Fling to new heights, and make it the What’s Friggin Fabulously Fun about February Friday Fling! Time for some 6F Fun! – Bob/Scotorum
I’ll start things off with this:
February: Bad Poetry Month?
February’s so much fun
’cause I don’t have to mow the lun.
And I don’t have to shovel snow.
Oh wait, I do. Way to go
Bob, now you can’t even keep your friggin’ months straight!
Better watch it or next you’ll be peeing your pants! Oh drat, too late…

Ok.. my photobucket is all weird on me tonight.. it might take some time to get posted here
This one is from that challenge in 2009. I freshly PnPed it for this Fling. It’s a mixed bag of loves and not so muches for us’ns in the Great Northlands. LOL It’s a rewrite of lyrics to the classic tune “Summertime”
This is by Sonnet Diva and is called the Friday Flingette, the form is a tribute to the Friday Fling. Thank you so much Lori for the tribute format. This is a fun form and Thank you so much for your contributions each week. Also Lori became a grandma last week with a granddaughter. Congrats to your new addition to your family! 🙂 :love:
Here is an Aknat from the Friday Fling two years ago about the famous Pux. February gives me some hope that spring is getting closer and he did see his shadow so as the saying goes there will be six more weeks of winter until spring. 🙂
February to me is PIZZA month and pizza parties. I thought it would be nice to have a pizza party at the fling tonight. What is your favorite topping on your pizza? Mine is pepperoni and mushrooms
This is another former Fling topic
Here’s another oldie I PnPed for this challenge. It’s a bit off topic, but one of the things I love about February is how it makes you want a vacation if you live in the north! And sometimes if you want something bad enough you can get it!
LOVE FOR REAL
Play me a song
Any ole song
Will do
As long as its
A love song
Sad and lonely
Cuz thats the way

Sweet and lovin

All the time

Just sing me a song
Any ole song
Will do

SEASON CONFUSION
Spring’s arrived
a bit early,
but I certainly
won’t complain;
winter’s come
and gone already
or that’s
the way it seems.
And though the new year
has just begun
there’s no mistaking at all,
it’s just the beginning
of February
but
the signs of spring
are already here.
Blossoms exploding
in the trees,
the garden has
come to life;
daffodils already blooming
and attracting honeybees.
The ducks and geese
paddle about
on the pond,
on this early February day,
so tranquil and serene;
the seasons seem
a bit confused
but I’m not sad
about that.
I must admit,
and happily so,
Spring Fever
has already hit
as I find myself
spring cleaning
and it’s not even
April or May.
I’m afraid I can’t feel
even a twinge of guilt
as the sun shines bright
and the flowers bloom,
and I’m not complaining
even one little bit
or making any fuss at all,
for even though
it’s only February,
spring has most
definitely sprung

There was many deaths this month
Then Births
Giving then taking away….
Blessings that I see today!
All is well… and all remains!
