Wing footed  winter’s dance is of grey skies,
bare branch silhouettes in silver gowns 
dormant magic within icy poses 
brilliant halls bedecked with frosted flowers. 

Into the Grand Ballrooms of springtime
a sweep of pastel ball gowns - all awhirl
Fresh pirouettes that gleam with  sparkling dew
To bring alive the dreaming garden songs.

Until the partners change at summer’s start
Now  gowns sway green- as green as willow boughs
And all the maiden’s heads are strewn with flowers
While love renewed replaces all past cares

Then as the leaves turn slowly - red to brown
All regal shades of velvet now adorn
The dancers bow - the way of beauty flown
Their hearts have pledged a promise to return.

No need for an apostrophe. You have a plural not a possessive seasons. Joyce

a very vivid picture, which of course I have learned to expect from you. I would use an apostrophe with "season's" in the title here.

Hi Robert ....when I first posted this one I had an apostrophe But it kept saying no special characters allowed in the title.....will try again. Perhaps TPS has changed that in the upgrade. SuZ

I could almost invision the figures partipating in the dance of the seasons changing. Loved the words that painted the pictures, nice job !

So, may I have the next dance? Beneath a shower of Maple leaves...Then we could rake those leaves in a pile and dive in...Beautifully done my friend - Tim
