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.”

delightful contest entry. I especially liked the last verse and 'rakes vowing 'I do.' Perfect. I'll remember those words next fall when I'm raking. Best wishes with the contest. hugs, Sara
