trees with sprouting limbs
bathed by spring's April showers
don
their lacy green robes

trees with dense full limbs
swayed by warm summer breezes
spread
their green velvet capes

trees with brilliant limbs
whirled by the cool autumn winds
shed
their burnished gold gowns

trees with cold bare limbs
frozen by winter blizzards
drape
their white fluffy scarves

A fun and creative way to do these split haiku, Sandra. I also liked how you used your one syllable lines to your advantage, using meaningful words: don, spread, shed, drape. Some I've read use words like, "a, an, the, of" etc., which sounds somewhat off to me. Best of luck, my friend!
