Oh, blessed Spring I have been waiting for you it seems forever, Let me throw off this winter coat and put on my raincoat and galoshes; I love your blue skies and even rain showers that clean the earth, Delightful spring flowers are sprouting, the violets and tulips are lovely; Everything is awakening, baby birds are chirping and baby squirrels scampering. Oh, beautiful Summer, I have planted seeds in my rainbow garden, I have my sandals, sundresses in pretty colors and picnic basket ready; On forest hikes I will go, to the breezy beach and leisurely walks in the park, When days are sun-drenched hot, I will find a shade tree to rest and ponder; I love even your thunderstorms and showers that make the earth flourish and grow. Oh, Autumn I adore your changing foliage, the falling leaves and coolness, A crackling fireplace on a breezy fall evening, dreams of pumpkin pie; Halloween and all the kids, Thanksgiving turkey with stuffing and apple cider, After, we will rake the multi-colored leaves, crisp and tattered, the smell divine; Everything is turning, changing, soon animals and me will be hibernating in warmth. Oh, Winter my beloved, I love you the most of all, we are linked in spirit, I was born in a winter snowstorm, it was bitter cold, the day pure white with snow; Your brisk cold breath is so frosty, your delicate lacy snowflakes are a delight, Christmas trees and Christmas Day, snowmen and gingerbread men so cheerful; Yes, I know you have a temper and can get quite gusty and nippy, and ice-kissed. ______________________________ April 4, 2016 Poetry/Verse/I Love All The Seasons Copyright Protected, ID 16-774-662-0 All Rights Reserved.

Where I live we have very distinct seasons, the season of White Camellias (Winter),the season of the Pink Trumpet Flowers (Spring), the season of Red Crepe Myrtles (Summer), and the season of Yellow Butterfly Cassia (Fall). Lol. Sometimes the falling blossoms remind me of snow. A lovely write BW.

first stanza 3rd line (that ! ..not than) first stanza 4th line , perhaps end the line with " the tulips ARE lovely ? 3rd stanza 2nd line " lets have some pumpkin pie" feels weak, and changes the direction, try " and dreams of pumpkin pie" to keep the dreamy nature of the write.. third stanza 3rd line ( comma after "After") .... once these are looked at you may have a tidier write that befits a S.H contest
