Notes About The Poem

A Game For All Seasons

At first was spring, and everything was quenched of every thirst

Summer came, but soon was gone,  it quickly played its game

Autumn, lingers here again, blows in with magic fingers

Gripping trees without a care, and painting brittle leaves

Sending cold to gild our hills with brilliant red and gold

Finding ways to rust the sky with tawny autumn days

We should fry up stacks, of buckwheat cakes, and gather stacks of wood

We'll retire, soon,  find warmth, and croon, around the cozy fire

We now rehearse, the winter's curse, and will survive the worst, somehow
