A Compendium of Seasons In Verse

Spring always brings forth a smile
     Just ask a butterfly

Summer lightens every heart
     Just hear the skylarks cry

Autumn colours tint our view
     As daylight waves goodbye

Winter ,sleeping,bides its time
     When all nature seems to die.
FOUR SEASONS
Spring
ever
brings a smile-
summer lightens
long
Fall
tints red-
as sleeping
winter acts as
dead

Spring
watches
a flower-
August a moon-
as
Fall
dresses
scarlet red-
winter silent
calls

Note seen with Japanese haiku eyes
February awakens crocus&snowdrop
May aromas the hay-making crop
August in high summer glows
but November nights,decompose
Seasons greetings
The're out
      the're out
Spring
announces with
         a shout-
Yellow
          yellow
     everywhere
look
         look
left or right
here,there
           anywhere-
under trees
            nodding
         in the breeze
braving
      March wind chill
narcissus
             amaryllis
       or
        if you
                 will
daffodil
LAST HURRAH
I close my eyes,Summer’s
last harrah, sunshine upon
my face.Fall stands still and
hesitates.Temperatures fall
and daylight hours fly,at 
my feet yellowed leaves;
shadows lengthen,evening
primrose perfumes
a memory of you.

DETRIUS
A tangle if Autumn
bonfired into smoke,
a blue plume curls from
the ashes.Yesterday’s
vision still haunts, now 
lost in the riot of October
gone forever.Summer
fading in a melancholy fog.
Around the corner, days of
grey ,drab winter gloom
