Seasons

Life has many seasons

SEASONS

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.

Author's Note

When we are kids, we are not familiar with what the season is now. This poem is about a kid who tries to remember what season it is.
