Will you join me

4 poems, two pairs. Winter/Summer and Autumn/Winter. Someone asks if their friend will join them outside and wonders what they would do.

If it snowed today

Would you join me in the white?

In the cool soft snow

The one you’ve never seen

 

With muffled light

And wrapped up tight

Would you join me in the white?

Would we play until

Our clothes were soaked through

And we felt the chill?

Would we run until

We could go no further

Then go back and eat our fill?

Would we throw snowballs until

The snow was gone

And we saw the daffodils?

 

If it snows today

Will you join me in the white?

 

 

If the sun came out today

Would you join me in the light?

In the green fields

Amongst cheery flowers

 

With skies that are bright

And colourful kites

Would you join me in the light?

Would we play until

We see the sunrise again

And hear the birds trill?

Would we run until

The trees peter out

And we are at the top of a hill?

Would we laugh until

The sun is gone

And we’ve collected daffodils?

 

If the sun comes out today

Will you join me in the light?

 

If the leaves fell today

Would you join me in the golden rain?

In the leaves

Of red and orange

 

With frizzy manes

And leaves covering the drains

Would you join me in the golden rain?

We could laugh at jokes, run around town

Acting like clowns and jest

Or play stupid contests 

We could bake nice food

Like pumpkin pie

Or watch a romance movie and sigh

We could travel

To faraway places

And meet plenty of new faces

 

If the leaves fall today

Will you join me in the golden rain?

 

 

If the flowers bloomed today

Would you join me in the lane?

The one with edges lined

With bluebells and blackthorns

 

With grass stains

And skies full of planes

Would you join me in the lane?

We could laugh as we

Let time pass

And fail at attempts of sass

We could eat nice food

Talk of old and new

Until down comes the dew

We could sit in the starlight

As it twinkles white

And just admire the sight

If the flowers bloom today

Will you join me in the lane?
