Day 955: Farewell February


Goodbye February!


February - Boris Pasternak

February. Get ink. Weep.
Write the heart out about it. Sing
Another song of February
While raucous slush burns black with spring.

Six grivnas* for a buggy ride
Past booming bells, on screaming gears,
Out to a place where rain pours down
Louder than any ink or tears

Where like a flock of charcoal pears,
A thousand blackbirds, ripped awry
From trees to puddles, knock dry grief
Into the deep end of the eye.

A thaw patch blackens underfoot.
The wind is gutted with a scream.
True verses are the most haphazard,
Rhyming the heart out on a theme.

*Grivna: a unit of currency.

  2. Space bar game with timer is a great feature that allows you to upgrade your gaming abilities and spacebar clicking skills in a fun environment. It is not only suitable for gaming individuals or pro gamers but also office workers, students or children accept this challenge well. So you are on the right platform where you can upgrade your focus and increase your spacebar objectives in a simple way.
