time between seasons passes slow Impatient we are as leaf buds grow Carefree summer takes her time A sudden chill - unwanted snow As slowly the sun begins to climb time between seasons passes slow Crocuses bloom announcing Snowdrops Daffodils come as a sudden surprise Azaleas flower as bright as lollipops Forsythias glow like a golden sunrise time between seasons passes slow Idle leaves deepen in rustic tones Sun fires the chameleon call of fall Scent of smoke - autumn chill condones All is golden to enthrall time between seasons passes slow No longer remote winter blasts its way Its beauty - snow on coal dark wood Compensates for days of gray As if somehow it could make good. time between seasons passes slow the time between the seasons Poetry Contest Sponsor: Kim Rodrigues

SuZ, back with congratulations for your win! I still love your word usage and the refrain between lines - a great visual of "between." Each stanza overflows with your creative imagery - "azaleas flower bright as lollipops!" Sending you blessings of all the seasons!

WOW SuZ! If your wondrously creative view of the seasons isn't on the winners list I will truly be surprised. Your colorful imagery is rich and delightfully delicious - "coal gray wood" with a nod to the way we heat our houses, "crocus bloom announcing snowdrops." I love snowdrops! You have captured that wonderful sense of wonder as one season "announces another. Best wishes for the contest. Blessings
