Mother Nature Never Forgets

Russet, Crimson and Golden colors adorn the spiraling leaves that are falling so slowly and beautifully, spreading over the landscape. They are making a natural blanket, keeping the earth warmer, and covered for the coming winter. The sky colors are a less vibrant pale and gray, because the sun has shorter daylight hours. The transition from fall to winter is arriving, and less sunshine brings darker days ahead... making you feel slightly melancholy. The chipmunks have garnered their chestnuts and the squirrels as well, as their preparation is finalized, for the long freezing winter months to come. The Bears are nestled in their dens, sleeping the cold winter away. The Hummingbirds and Robins join the Geese, and bid their farewells, as they start their migratory journey South. You can hear the geese honking saying goodbye, as they fly away in their V formation liked trained pilots in formation. The snow starts falling and the frost sets in. The wind chill confirms it is winter, as the snow covers beautifully the barren landscape. A glistening white overwhelms your visual senses as far as you can see. The running rivers flowing so free in the warmer months, Mother Nature has reigned back. They are now motionless, and frozen, and still. Every living creature now seeks shelter from the cold, there are no exceptions. Mother Nature is finished with winter, now she is planning for Spring. The Seasons will repeat themselves, and it will start all over again. Mother Nature Never Forgets Michael Tor

I love the imagery in this poem my friend.. The poem offers a meditative reflection on the passage of time and the inevitable changes that come with each season. It suggests that while winter may seem cold, dark, and barren, it is a necessary part of a larger cycle that leads to renewal. It encourages readers to reflect on the cycles in their own lives, accepting moments of stillness and change as part of a greater natural order.

Dear Michael, This poem superbly depicts the cyclical pattern of the seasons and the shift from autumn to winter. It emphasizes the splendor of autumn's hues, the primping of animals for winter, and the final calm of the winter scene. The poem explores the inevitability of change in nature, highlighting how each season has its own character and purpose while implying an underlying link to life's continuity. Best wishes for happy thanksgiving

Michael, this is so lovely especially in the personification of Mother Nature always preparing for birth and re-birth. We are told that God created the seasons and the festivals. That is so apparent in this poem that overflows with images that tell the story. You really have a deep, poetic understanding of the seasons. I so enjoyed this poem. Sending you blessings of summer, fall, winter, spring joy, my friend!

Yes, seasons keep coming in cyclic rotation. Nature doesn't want us to be stuck in monotonous regularity. She ensures that we enjoy variety. Each season has marked features. After the season of autumn comes winter. The only change is that sometimes a season comes a little early or late. But nature won't skip any season. Michael, I really enjoyed your lovely poem on the transition of autumn to winter!
