The Four Seasons

Nightingale sings to herald spring,
I watch nervous fledglings take to wing.

Children build sandcastles that reach the sky,
parents sunbathe on the beach - 
summer holiday fun!

The busy farmer never stops,
works from the break of dawn.
He’s harvesting the golden crops
of barley, oats and corn.

filigree snowflakes
gently blanket flowerbeds -
robin redbreast chirps
