The Sisters of the Seasons

“Seasons teach us that change can be beautiful.” - unknown

Fair is Spring.
Like a butterfly,
she glides in
with dew-drop 
sparkle on her rosebud cheeks
and with breezy charm.

With ardor,
Summer comes dancing
a tango
sultrily,
slinking by night into a
shower of star-fall.

Fall arrives
spilling brilliance on
sunsets and
leaves. . . Winter
then whirls in. Her windswept gown
lifts and steals moon's glow

Daniel Henry Rodgers March 23, 2026 at 11:37 AM Dear Andrea, Congratulations on POTD! There’s a nice contrast between the "breezy charm" of the start and that final, more aggressive image of winter physically lifting and stealing the light. It captures that specific feeling of how quickly a season can shift from an invitation to an extraction. I think it feels like a sequence of snapshots taken just as the subject is turning away. My grandchildren to a tee! lol! Spring Blessings, Daniel Andrea Dietrich March 23, 2026 at 2:21 PM Thanks, Daniel

We're getting a spring and summer mixture here with daytime temperatures in the afternoon being quite warm but not as bad as in some places. I really like your well-thought-out work. Sara K
