Four Seasons

So soon the seasons in cycle. The chill of winter’s tangible breath to scorch the freezing air, the paperboy’s virgin footprints etched within each dawn breaking frost. The solidarity of summer from the middle moor the length of the daylight to ease the pain of waiting for heady days in fresh cut meadows. The gold of autumn as one scuffs oceans of decay caught in the eve of their lives. The surprise of spring One-day nature’s nakedness the next the creation, a virgin inflorescences to confront the perfect day! © Harry J Horsman 2000

Beautiful play of words here, Harry. My favorite line is 'The chill of winter’s tangible breath to scorch the freezing air, the paperboy’s virgin footprints etched within each dawn breaking frost. ' I also like to use the image of 'footprints' in some of my poems, I don't know, I guess it touches me in a way...Great poem! Emily
