Out My Window

Out my window in the Spring at last I hear the birdies sing. The dark morn gives way to light. Winter chill has lost it’s bite. Out my window in summertime bees buzz as wind chimes. Roses burst to bloom in June. Scent of sweet pea fills the room. Out my window in the autumn leaves change colour from top to bottom. Smoke from wood fire across the deck as birds from hanging feeders peck. Out my window in the winter icicles hang and then splinter. The garden below slumbers deep until at last Spring does creep.

Whoever designed your house knew a thing or two. Each season has its own merits and this poem has done them Justice. All the best David in NZ

Hi David. I spent 8 months in NZ as a midwife in Hawera many moons ago. The green and the sheep were comforting reminders of home. Thank you for sending those warm wishes across the world.

I love this enchanting poem Jean that so beautifully depicts the changing of seasons as witnessed by your enjoyment of looking out of your window. Delightful, imagery,’ Roses burst to bloom in June’ ’Icicles hang and then splinter’. Really love the last two concluding lines as well. So enjoyed reading the delights of the seasons. Thank you. Blessings to you.

And thank you Yann for your lovely comment. My little stone cottage surrounded by mature trees will soon be 100 years old and I am snug as a bug there.
