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.

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.
