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 Originally written for Seasons Contest Sponsored by Shadow Hamilton Any poem from 4th, 5th or 6th April 2106 Sponsored by Laura loo 04~06~16

Jan, you make me excited for the coming months ahead! I love the fall in Michigan.."pirouetting in the breeze", it makes me want to sit by a camp fire with a hoodie and roast marshmallows! Lovely and amazing flow :)-luloo
