Wing footed winter’s dance is of grey skies, bare branch silhouettes in silver gowns dormant magic within icy poses brilliant halls bedecked with frosted flowers. Into the Grand Ballrooms of springtime a sweep of pastel ball gowns - all awhirl Fresh pirouettes that gleam with sparkling dew To bring alive the dreaming garden songs. Until the partners change at summer’s start Now gowns sway green- as green as willow boughs And all the maiden’s heads are strewn with flowers While love renewed replaces all past cares Then as the leaves turn slowly - red to brown All regal shades of velvet now adorn The dancers bow - the way of beauty flown Their hearts have pledged a promise to return.

The seasons were so beautifully conjured up, Suzanne. This line made a particularly strong impression : bare branch silhouettes in silver gowns

No need for an apostrophe. You have a plural not a possessive seasons. Joyce

a very vivid picture, which of course I have learned to expect from you. I would use an apostrophe with "season's" in the title here.

Hi Robert ....when I first posted this one I had an apostrophe But it kept saying no special characters allowed in the title.....will try again. Perhaps TPS has changed that in the upgrade. SuZ

I could almost invision the figures partipating in the dance of the seasons changing. Loved the words that painted the pictures, nice job !

So, may I have the next dance? Beneath a shower of Maple leaves...Then we could rake those leaves in a pile and dive in...Beautifully done my friend - Tim
