The Seasons

Spring has arrived with warmer days
And newness everywhere.
Fruit trees are donning spring-time dress,
The apple, plum and pear.

Spring will just get nicely settled in,
When Summer moves her on.
Summer brings the sun in hotter mode
To assure that Spring is gone.

Fall topples Summer from her throne
With her strong winds cold and brash,
Summer packs her bags and waves goodbye.
Cold winds give her a rash.

Winter has waited patiently
For others to have their due.
With winter games and holidays,
She makes a statement too.

Each season has its devotees
And her own special charms,
With careful apportioning for each one,
Right amount of cold or warm.

Beautifully written Joyce. I love that you have given such personality to each season. They do seem to have one don't they? Like people who are still dealing with more snow in April are begging winter to leave so they can welcome spring. Congratulations on your placement Joyce. I love yours! #7 ; )
