~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warming days arrive; woodlands start to sing, a jaunty tune both suave and filled with flair. The world awakes to all that's best in spring, emerging blooms and blossoms everywhere. Then comes the fevered flush of summer sun, to feel the brush of burning winds go by. I marvel when the drooping day is done as pastel portraits paint the western sky. But summer bows to autumn's gorgeous gowns as she lays down her ribboned, silken folds; I cherish bewitching scarlets mixed with titian browns, rich-coppered yellows, purples, oranges. and golds.

Love your journey through the seasons Sara, getting very cold here in the uk, thankfully being retired I don't have to venture out unless absolutely necessary. Hope you have an enjoyable weekend. Tom

thank you for journeying with me, Tom. Unusually cold here in Texas now...a polar vortex has swept across most of the country...we have extremely low temps and high winds for us...so, I, too, am thankful I don't have to get out. Too cold for this native Texans. Hope you're continuing to heal...have a blessed weekend, Sara

Wow! This is beautiful! Truly! I think this will score high. Whatever for you try, you do them so well. I love the rhymes too youve used here and the transitioning of seasons and colors used and artistic wordplay that you’ve used here adds beauty and enhances the imagery you’ve painted in such eloquence. I think i love the most your last stanza! So creative and brilliant ending to an exquisite poem. Best wishes for the contest! You’ve nailed it! Sending you light today and always. Another fave
