Notes About The Poem

The Time In Between Seasons

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
