The Four Seasons



The Four Seasons

All the world has four seasons,
why do some think they don't?
They all present differently, 
no matter where you are on earth.

We don't need to think we are supreme 
beings because we have snowfall.
Nor should we down our sisters and 
brothers who choose a sunny climate 
other than ours as brainless,dull fuzzballs.

I don't know much, but I know
this.
I will hear complaints from all
when it snows.
At first it will be all ooos and ahs!
But after weeks of shoveling
and unworkable cars,oh my!
They wail for the next season.

If one is lucky enough to be at
home, snowfall is a delight!
But for those who have to work
daily or walk or fall in freezing cold.
This whooping over snow gets
pretty old!

Notes:
*Poet once lived in Chicago
almost half her existence in
the Windy City.
But once she touched the fine 
joys of the state of California 
life, fell in love with it. 
I do mean,hopelessly.*

Some people will complain about something each season. I was born in wintertime in Germany, and have lived in Virginia and other states north of her, all the way to Massachusetts so I've my snow memories. I've also lived in Florida and such a clime is definitely my fav at this point in life. When one must commute to work and sees snow out their window, they tend to cuss rather that ew and ah (I sure did). A poem that really got my thoughts rolling and concurring. I sent you a soupmail.
