Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Painting the Seasons

Spring soothes with a gentle rain
 With blushing blooms we once knew
 Fragrant flowers will then reign
 and everything becomes new

 Summer bakes with sizzling days
  Many enjoy time at the beach
 But heat waves can put us in a daze
 As birds flit on branches of the beech

 Autumn chills with cooler climes
 and adorns the leaves with colorful flair
 A gnarly vine on the wall now climbs
 As the forest blazes a crimson flare

 Winter's brushstrokes paint a snowy scene
 As snowflakes land on firs
 Christmas decorations can be seen
 People are bundled up in furs
