Seasons Change

Warming
fervid heat
sun glistens on
glorious greenery
Summer

Cooling
gentle winds
showering leaves
down from trees, colorful
Autumn

Resting
earth lies still
all nature sleeps
through bitter, barren, bleak
Winter

Burst of
energy
bright colors bloom
earth suddenly alive
with Spring

Seasons
changeable
unlike people
minds stuck, stalled, unyielding
Stubborn

Wish we
could shed leaves
or come alive
effortlessly like the
Seasons

This is such an artful metaphor on the importance of change and rebirth, wonderful allegory to link it to the seasons, enjoyed this!

Being an avid changeling myself, I am not able to relate in that way, however, as a detective and spy of the best kind, I recognise this mind-stuck-stubborness in others. Wait! It's me! I am also there in some instances. Anyway, Rhona,your poem about being stubborn is so wittily written, it is stealthily sneaking up and making me do the happy dance. Your poems AMAZE me, with ZING my friend. A FAV for me, going straight to my list. I love it!

Hahahaha- my muse was sneaky with this one... I actually had planned for that last part to be "wish they/ could shed leaves...", when I suddenly realized that I AM that stubborn person sometimes!! ;D It made me smile that it hit you that way, too!
