Seasons

Springing and bounding like a lamb Playfully, gamboling over the ground. Rumbles of thunder assaulting the ear Incessant lightning, earth trembling in fear. Nature is fickle, and inscrutably wild, Glowing with vigor--an unruly child. Shimmering heat waves swim and rise, Under the blazing, noonday skies. Mercury rising, seeking the sky. My vision is bleary--sweat in my eyes. Everyone wondering, “When will it end?” Remembering winter--bring it again. Autumn colors flaming bright Under azure autumn light. Tender hearts holding fast Untold feelings from the past. Mellow, yellow, harvest moons, Night time bonfires, off-key tunes. White snow blanketing fallen leaves, Icicles forming on dripping eaves. North wind moaning through the trees, Temperature falling below the knees. Eagerly waiting for robins to sing, Readily awaiting arrival of spring.
