Winter is here it starts to snow People are cosy by fireside glow Christmas time brings fun and cheer It starts to snow winter is here. Flowers now bloom it must be spring Song birds happy they start to sing We've left behind the winters gloom It must be spring flowers now bloom. Heat from the sun, temperatures rise Longer days with early sunrise Beach and barbecues having fun Temperatures rise, heat from the sun. It's getting cold Autumns here now Summer season now takes a bow Amazing colours, reds and gold Autumns here now it's getting cold. Written 7th June 2020. For Swap The Verse Poetry Contest.
