Changing Seasons

Autumn is singing songs in my head.

Summer has gone into hiding under my bed.

Winter is sending me postcards from snow capped peaks.

Spring is telling me to buy flower buds in heaps.

 

I paint all the leaves in colours bright.

Changing seasons is nothing we can fight.

Soon there will be sprinklings of frost on every bough.

But before we know farmers their fields will plough.

 

Autumn's song I gladly sing.

Summer's sleep new things will bring.

Winter's journey is soon at an end.

Spring's flower will be as a long lost friend.

 

We rake the leaves that fall.

Remember adventures even if small.

A fire's warmth I need to feel.

Spinning the seasons on life's big wheel.

Love that first line, Autumn colours are really resonant.. your words pick up on that! Clever you. 'Spring's flowers will be as a long last friend' is another great phrase but 'flowers' is plural so 'friend' should be plural too .. a minor error considering you're not writing in your first language!

Having read this twice, i think your poem would make great free verse. Thanks for sharing

I love the first and last stanzas. The whole poem is good tho!, every line is solid and it all flows very good.

Hi Yheela,
Me I hate winter with a vengance. I can't get enough sun. This was very mixed in its depiction of the seasons but describes some of the feelings about the chaging seasons well.
'under my bead' is that a typo? should it be bed?

[Yheela]

Thank you!

Beautiful work. This poem sings of colorful imagery and ambiguity.
