Notes About The Poem

A Song of Seasons

I sing a song of springtime.
The earth is green and fair.
Life comes again with scent of rain,
and love is in the air.

I sing a song of summer.
The sun is climbing high.
We laugh and run and have such fun.
How blue becomes the sky!

I sing a song of autumn.
Trees wear their brightest gown.
It’s trick or treat, then bittersweet
as leaves are falling down.

I sing a song of winter.
I sing it soft and low.
The days grow dark and short, but hark!
We bask in Yuletide’s glow!

Hi Andrea, Congrats on your win with this wonderfully lyrical song--I mean poem. The simple but powerful words are indeed like a song, just trying to figure out which genre would work best--rock ballad or heavy metal ;-) one or the other.

Upbeat music for each of the seasons. This has such a wonderful rhythm, and I love the double rhyme in each of the third lines. I think in your first stanza you meant: Love IS in the air, rather than ARE. Best of luck, Andrea!

I wrote "Is" the first time, Tim, and then I realized I made a mistake. I am saying that scent of rain AND love are in the air. I hope the judge reads it that way. Geeez, I wonder if I should go back to saying IS.
