Winter


 I bring the cold and skies of gray
 You'll shiver at my icy glare
 Snowstorms may soon come your way
 and freezing temps with no warmth to spare

 If you love skiing, I'll give you lots of snow
 You can even build a snowman if you choose
 With button eyes and a carrot nose
 My freezing temps will give you the blues

 Sometimes I overstay my time
 and impose upon the long awaited spring
 Instead of blooms,  it'll be freezing climes
 As upon the trees my icicles cling

Then I will leave as I must
 But I'll return after autumn leaves take flight
 Leaving you with one last frosty gust
 and return when the time is right

Such is life. Every season will return, occasionally with a vengeance.
