Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Seasons

Spring 

She swirls her skirts, dressing the trees
Warm winds whisper in the leaves so green
Dainty daffodils dance attracting the bees
Springtime paints such a delightful scene

Summer

Glorious golden sand on the crowded beach
Tanned people enjoy being kissed by the sun 
Sandcastles built, the azure sky they try to reach
A day on the beach, let’s have some summer fun!

Autumn

Withered leaves start falling, pirouetting in the breeze 
Carpeting the ground, crunching underneath our feet
Soon the tree is naked, and hopes that it won’t freeze
Autumn’s glory is gone but the season cycle will repeat


Winter

Skeleton like branches are now laden with snow
Our pond is frozen; everywhere is dressed in white
Children build huge snowmen with great gusto
A winter wonderland, is such a delightful sight
