A Kaleidoscope of Seasons

Snowy dusks of silver skies;
frosty windowpanes;
icy diamonds on the trees;
pearleascent country lanes.

Bursts of amesthyst and pink
on plum and cherry trees;
nodding bluebells; azure skies;
lavender’s the breeze!

Poppies razzle dazzle red
beneath sun’s amber rays;
green’s the grass till withered brown
on fiery summer days.

Smells and sunsets cinnamon;
that orange pumpkin hue;
russet foilage and gold leaves
till winter’s rendezvous!
