The 4 Seasons

Soft flurries, at dawn,
      spurred on by wind;
   the blow and drift
of twilight’s whiteout blizzard.

Achoo, here we go;
    how ravenous the roses.
       Red petals tickle schnozes.
          Earth in royal bloom.

Flopping into the pool,
     tummy trouncing off water,
        red, white and blue -
           colors of American hero.
          
          Loving cup of leaves,
       dancing and romancing fools.
    Oaks baring their souls.
Rakes vowing, “I do.”
