Seasons

A Poem by Najam Us Saher
"

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.

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.

Your poem took me on a journey not just with the narrator but down memory lane as well. I don't often find poems like these so when I do I like to savor each line. I think I'll be re-reading this for years to come.
