SeasonsA Poem by Najam Us SaherLife has many seasonsSEASONS Pleasant weather makes me cheerful, Sun's bright, spreading its rays on flora And flowers bloomed. Chasing butterflies with my little fingers, That's when I knew, it was spring. The rays of the sun were severe, The breeze was no more pleasing, It was intense heat outside, Leaves faded from emerald green to pistachio. All I wanted to stay at home. Mother allowed me to eat ice-cream as much as I liked, And told me there is no school. That's when I knew, it was summer. Sometimes the weather fooled me, I played with shadow when the sunlight hit me And later it was gone, I noticed it was sunny and cloudy at the same time. And water from sky poured down. Blue sky was not to be seen, Light flashed, it scared me and I cried. Mother told me it was thunder And one day it will stop raining. I watched the drops on my window pane, That's when I knew, it was monsoon. Curled up and brittle, the petals of the tree were, All the chlorophyll was lost, They fell and untidied the lawn, I piled them up, clutched in my little hands And threw them up, That's when I knew it was fall. Trees stood bare while it snowed, I played with the snowballs; Admiring the mist arise from my mouth. Mother made me wear warm clothes, Saying it was very cold outside. Sitting in front of the fireplace And curled up with a quilt, I snuggled in my mother's lap, And she let me sink into slumber. That's when I knew, it was winter. © 2018 Najam Us SaherAuthor's Note
