Seasons

She dances where the lilacs grow Bejeweled in blossoms of every hue She whispers softly to the winds that blow Spring has turned the drab into the new Awakening the flowers to bloom Bejeweled in blossoms of every hue Summer spreads her sweet perfume As she dances briefly with the butterflies And the flowers have awakened in bloom Through the air a gold leaf flies As autumn blows the leaves away And summer dances briefly with the butterflies Winter turns blue skies to gray As she dances with the falling snow And all the leaves have blown away A dance of seasons that come and go the dance of spring where lilacs grow The sweet caress of a summer breeze A burst of colors with autumn leaves And winter's dance with falling snow. ---- 4/5/16

Hi Joseph, A really great write. All four seasons are not so easy to do justice to in one poem, but you certainly nailed it with this compact, well-integrated and expressive piece. Congrats on your well-deserved, stand-alone, first-place win. Cheers, Brian

You are a poet for all seasons. You painted inner and exterior lanscapes of ages woith their perfume, touching flight of butterfly from verse to verse, from rhyme to rhyme, from feeling to feeling, from soul to soul.Congrat.
