Autumn

Autumn

      Golden companion
      To the swiftly ageing year,
      Herald of Winter.

GREAT job. I bet you have one for each season. I was thinking about the last one. Wouldn't spring be mother of seasons? Maybe it depends on one's location?

Hello Andrea, I do have one for each season, I was thinking of compiling them all together in one piece. I thought about Spring as Mother of the Seasons and decided the Haiku would describe the warmth and brilliance of Summer. I have put Winter as the Father of the Seasons as all the seasons depend on the quality of Winter, so Summer follows as the Mother of the Seasons. Thanks for the comment.
