Winter. Expect snow and ice Children think snow’s very nice Hear them giggle with delight When they have a snowball fight Spring. We’ll see pretty flowers Nesting birds, April showers When small fledglings take to wing I can hear the bluebells ring Summer. Time for holidays When we bask in sunshine’s rays Many want a deep suntan It’s too hot I’d need a fan! Autumn. Leaves are tumbling down Trees lose their glorious gown Finest season of them all No surprise it’s known as fall. 7 syllables per line checked with HMS Rhyme checked with rhyme zone Write A Jueju-Qijue Poetry Contest Sponsored by Emile Pinet 05/17/23

Verse 2 is my favorite! I love the way you make the season’s words pop with a period. Hugs, Kim

A great write here on Seasons and I give you a 10/10. Excellent rhyme and rhythm. I am lost as to how to distinquish a jueju-qijue from a quatrain with 7 syllable lines. Regardless of the form, I enjoyed your entry very much. Congrats on your placement.

Last word of the poem - 'fall.' However, the poet's charms 'rise!' Nice one, Jan!
