Maurice Yvonne Poet Free verse

The Four Seasons

spring walked the red carpet dressed in a suit 
of blossoming colors that released a delicate inviting fragrance.

summer followed in a scorching hot vibrant green piece
accentuated in bright yellow gold.

autumn showed up in antique shades of reds and orange. 
a striking shawl dropped beneath her shoulders.

winter was the last to arrive and appeared in a pure white evening gown.
each and every sequence unique and separately sewn in. 

as each season complimented the red carpet
all life showed up to marvel.
