Rugged, Rustic and Beautiful

In the country of the clans
Scenery abounds
Around our cities of old
And our villages and towns

Rugged and rustic
Greens, grays and browns
Adorn our countryside
They are natures gowns

Plants come alive
At the start of spring
New buds appear
Awaiting joys do they bring

In the summer sunshine
They burst into life
Colours so delightful
Radiant and rife

The autumn closes
No longer the colours parade
They are like scenes in a play
Their fading blooms, are summers last serenade

As the temperature falls
And the winter months settle in
We also enjoy it's beauty
Until the spring, springs again

In the country of the clans
In our mountains and glens
Natures seasons delight
Amen

Hey, I forget where you are from. Sounds like the British Isles. Nice display of the changing seasons, James!

Love this one. I can see the spring with the shades of green, blooms of trees then the summer flowers, fall's dying hour, and the dead of winter all stark and cold. Keep the creative and magical pen flowing. Merry Christmas Day. Sara
