Seasonal Change

Summer heat resides
Wetting our skin with its dew
Play time is all ours

Autumn winds then blow
Giving lift to the dead leaves
Colors fill our eyes

Winter then attacks
With its brutal chill and freeze
As cheeks turn crimson

Then there’s the rebirth
As Spring allows us new life
Flora comes alive

You captured the change of seasons well in this haiku series. I especially like the spring stanza--maybe because it is my favorite season. Thank you for sharing this poem with us and for your kind words regarding mine. Have a good day! Karen

Wow, very similiar to what I do with tankas, make a series to weave a poem. Beautifully written and magical. Nice use of personification, too. Regards, Sara:)

Lovely poem, Michael. It's filled with hope and beauty, especially for us who are affected by the ravaging wild fires in California. We will welcome new growth in the spring...God willing. Thank you for reminding me of my poetry terms ....I'm a novice at poetry, and I had mixed up my Quatrain and Haiku, and I was glad to have the reminder! I appreciate any help! I'm still a work in progress! Thank you , fondly...Carrie
