Jack Ellison Poet Free verse

Canada

One person's enjoyment is another man's bummer
we are all a product of our environment
and our early years on this marvelous sphere
it can determine our path and our perspective
on how we approach the years ahead
personally, I was brought up in a definite
all four season environment
where the coming of the next one
was looked forward to with great anticipation
in winter, the joy was building snow forts
snowball fights and skating on the ponds
spring brought thoughts of love no matter our age
great lovers in our young minds
summer was next with its joyous warmth
and carefree sunny days
the world was a beautiful place
autumn with its glorious array of color
and the fresh aromas
so to experience the four Canadian seasons
is to experience life itself in all its glory
I am forever thankful!!!

Tom Cunningham March 16, 2018 at 7:41 AM Lovely piece Jack , I do love all the variety of the seasons. Tom Jack Ellison March 16, 2018 at 7:50 AM Well. we definitely have four seasons... sometimes they tend to overlap though, like this year!

Arturo Michael March 16, 2018 at 6:31 AM It's four icy cool pepper seasons...was in Montreal and Toronto for a short time...but long enough to respect the weather. Nice dedication...appreciation... Jack Ellison March 16, 2018 at 6:50 AM Was born in Montreal... moved to Toronto in '76! Can get pretty hot in the summer months.... 80's and low 90's! Canada is always thought of cool as cold 12 months of the year... NOT TRUE! Definite FOUR seasons though!!! Cheers, Happy Jack!!!
