White
dandelion seeds, blowing across the summer’s silence
rising up, a full moon – glowing with its music, its poetry
singing to the stars with their radiance, sparkling, wistful
while autumn thrives in her clearest skies, with tender clouds
and the winter breathes her music in flakes who create drifts

Seasons
I have seen the amber breeze
Upon an Autumn day
Leaves of golden brown
red and green adorn
A dream
In flight my eyes amazed
Pastel brush strokes
Flicker and teem
As a cloud of sullin reason
Sheds a teardrop of rain
I have ran the longest mile
In snow sleet and rain
And danced a thunderous storm
As lightening lead my

Tan, Tan, Tan
Well she got her magic nose
And she looks like the best snowman now
Though she’s brand new on the front lawn
Compared to all of the old snowmen now
But with that magic carrot
She will show all of the other snowmen how
To get a tan, tan, tan
Before all the winter snow melts away
Well she stands there all day
As

Seasons Delight
Autumn first of all to fall for winter's sprawl
Snuggling and warm inside
Winter's storm bellowing blustering boasting
Snow deepening by the hour.
Once snow melts then comes spring
All will bud of everything.
Spring is a special season
Sensationally satisfactional growing
Going to be a living wonder. Days of
Icy escapes be gone.
Lively

Haiku Variations
Haiku Variations
by Michael R. Burch
This is a poem composed of haiku-like stanzas:
Variations on the Seasons I
by Michael R. Burch
Lift up your head
dandelion,
hear spring roar!
How will you tidy your hair
this near
summer?
Leave to each still night
your lightest affliction,
dandruff.
Soon you will free yourself:
one shake
of your white mane.
Now there are worlds
into which you appear
and disappear
seemingly at will
but invariably blown—
wildly,

A Tale of Two Winds
The wind blows from the East
to tame Summer's beast
of humidity, heat and stress
that rage from the West
Welcome breezes from the South
turn chill North gusts around
As we dig out from snowstorms
Open up our 'toddlin' town'

Quaternity
so long the days of singing rays
have come to meet their sullen end
twixt nights of joy with hidden ploy
a sweetly tone, they do offend
O gasp! the serpent true must strike
O gasp! the lustful raging psych
whose cares are lost forever long
roaring out, O hear my song!
now mute...peace...whist...still
ideas soon drain, decisions fill
a mind at pace with thoughts

The Four Seasons
There are four seasons in a year. Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. In the Spring time, you can enjoy the outdoors and go for a walk. And look at the trees turning beautiful colors, you can also enjoy raking the leaves into a big pile and jump into them. We also know the New Year

Searching For Summer
Nasty old winter is getting me down
I'm looking for summer all over town
I lift up a blanket of snow off the ground
Sadly there is no green grass to be found
My very next stop I'll go down to the beach
With waves and sand summer may be in reach
The lake is solid like a piece of glass
No

Cycles of Love
my mark is fresh like snow in air
brisk and mist will crisp on hair
fists ball up from risk to care
whisper and stare but all is fair
love and reason, flow like seasons
the endings blending and quite seeming
parts of hearts, tho awake or dreaming
half is seeing, the other believing
eyes align and beats will sync
eyes a line for

Changing Seasons
Shamefully dull, life would be,
Without seasons to nourish me.
Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall,
Nature’s blessings the nourish us all
Apathetic and harsh, winter is,
With arctic gales that pierce
Every linen shielding my frame.
Anomalous flakes of snow drift from the sky
As sheets of white accumulate on the ground
And weigh down the healthiest trees,
Teasing those ready for winter festivities.
Once

The Four Queens
The Spring Queen.......
Delicate blooms
Fresh and new
Emerging colour too
Her dress.....
The colour of new green,
finished off in blue
Edged in snow drops
They follow her too
A walk through the trees
The lightest touch of her hand
and the leaves come forth
Banishing the winds from the north
That special bond...
