Painting the Seasons

Spring soothes with a gentle rain With blushing blooms we once knew Fragrant flowers will then reign and everything becomes new Summer bakes with sizzling days Many enjoy time at the beach But heat waves can put us in a daze As birds flit on branches of the beech Autumn chills with cooler climes and adorns the leaves with colorful flair A gnarly vine on the wall now climbs As the forest blazes a crimson flare Winter's brushstrokes paint a snowy scene As snowflakes land on firs Christmas decorations can be seen People are bundled up in furs 10-12-2022 Homophone Rhyme Poetry Contest Sponsor: Hat Bueckert

Summer is a sizzling adventure, and I enjoy feeling the sun dance upon my skin. However, this moment is my favorite. "Spring soothes with a gentle rain, with blushing blooms." You've created a masterpiece with your words Joseph, and I'm adding this to *my favorites* to read again and again. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy
