The Change of Seasons

April brings in the overcast darkened skies, and wet days yet to come. Rainy days linger, and don't allow the slightest peek, from the rising sun. A beautiful Monarch butterfly is resting still on a Wisteria vine. Taking in her fragrant scents, that are so deliciously divine. The days turn into months, as the seasons brings in climatic changes. Mother Nature then waves her wand shortening her days, as she watches falling leaves do their spiral dances. Vibrant hues transcend upon the picturesque landscape imagery, as ripened leaf colors, overwhelm leaving a visual memory. A bright harvest moon adorns, the silhouette of a night owl, perched on a branch. Watching this outstanding image, and savoring this once in a lifetime surreal glance. This wet weather has hugged the pumpkins, with a covering of frost. No abundant harvest this fall, as farmers sadly give up, their cherished crops. As time progresses, there is a burnt leaf smell lingering in the frigid air, and a cold shivering gusty north wind blowing, through my hair. The light snow starts falling, creating a white canvassed impression, As children play and make snowmen, in this wintery illustration. Michael Tor
