Notes About The Poem

Monchielle Stanza Contest sponsored by Emile Pinet

Mother Nature's Gowns

Nature changes her gown
to gossamer chiffon 
pastels to welcome spring.
Daisy wreath in her hair
when finch and robins sing.

Nature changes her gown.
A bright yellow sundress.
Fabric print with flowers,
blooming when well nourished
by afternoon showers.

Nature changes her gown
to dark shades of mourning
for all the falling leaves,
windswept from bare limbed trees.
For their loss, Nature grieves.

Nature changes her gown
as she dances o'er earth
in frock of winter white.
Snowflake crystal bodice
sparkling jewels each night.
