Winter & Spring

 

Pretending spring hadn't noticed, the weather hardened;

enough light hours will savour strictly, to warrant cover

begrudged by winter's deluge alas it has been pardoned  

because of you, the light ease in which smoothing over

let's go of, warmth is much surrounding mulch, to lead 

enough long hours to say, love takes heed who dote on 

saying much about you, your whole well being, indeed 

brings joy for nothing, it is natures ask to prolong upon, 

already becoming a sun's assistant as this master maker 

bastes in a glory, which given shade to, you'll suffer not   

for all the work you put in it smothers weeds, the lot.  

 

Summer & Autumn 

 

Patiently, one could ask, how this is you can do so much 

egging on without compass to track all hope and wishes, 

blood was thicker, thorns take hold, as take hold as such

belief as in surroundings, tightly held in vigor to swishes

lashed together, 'that be us', as how neatly fond wrapped  

elation is, how inwardly starting from scratch to mention, 

snatch fair maiden, this haven you've prepared we adapt

best to the conditions you'd bring, leaving that attention,

almost without menace, that who will answer, it is to say  

by autumn, the mature way, in which all transition gives  

yet another good account of self worth is what then lives.
