Mother Nature's Moodswings

Nature smiles in Spring
Pulls at our heart string
as greenery's hued in greener tinge
Having had an everlasting effect
on those evergreen trees. 

Nature frowns in Autumn
gets all bored, pale and blue in the fall
Almost seems to sigh drily, wryly
Looks dull and drab
except for the windy breeze. 

And this very mother nature
in full-blown winter
gives all the cold shoulder
Reveals her cold-hearted side
Could'st turn into a cold-blooded murderer
Even her nature lovers get cold feet
Besides, the winter sun is cold comfort .
A time for a A-tishoo in your tissue
a time for the noisy sneeze
Oh! Beware her icy glare, in the cold war
as she coerces all to freeze! 

Ah, in summer, nature boils and goes into a 'heated debate'
What with the burning sun and its scorching torment
Ah, she can be hot-tempered this mother nature
But let the sweltered ones bathe in the seven seas
and opt for sundaes instead of steaming teas. 

And if you really wish to see
mother nature fuming in fury
Behold it in thunderstorm and hurricane
You crouched safely behind the window pane
For she might storm at you quite violently
Watch out! She could get real stormy
Better stay out of her way at such times please! 

And hee hee I do hope yah like
my seasoned seasonal pun
It's fine here to have
some fair weather fun
And take mom Nature's pic as she says cheese! 

Yet the point here, she's created as are all mothers
implying God, not she herself could have made all of these
And so like all God's creatures who have free will
she's fallible and perhaps at times free to do as she please.  
(Though some bad weather conditions can be due to human pollution in repercussion.)

Hello S. Zaynab, Mother nature is unpredictable with weather in winter. We had blowing snow, followed by freezing rain. Enjoy your day my friend.

Heyy guess my poem made you laugh so you returned the favor by making me laugh. Though i think if God Himself was awarding me He wouldve been kinder and awarded many more of mine lol neh. Im glad to hear that you love fall and so did you mean you have mostly hotter weather at your place? Warm thanks again,

A smart good humoured write with witty atmospherics. I’m not a big fan of winter though so if you’d care to perhaps rewrite that section and call it ‘Christmas’ I’d be much obliged. Seriously though, enjoyed your poetic almanac; congrats on your POTD. Terry

Congratulations Zaynab on an all encompassing POTD, filled with fun and humour, Mother Nature can indeed be unpredictable and fickle at times, and seasons have become less guaranteed, mostly down to human input, or perhaps output, cheers David
