Seasons

 

 

 

The zephyrs sweetly scented air

colors the SPRING in my step

whispering to me on butterfly's breath

posies of poppies tickle my nose

emerald blue grass grows between my toes

 

my heart blooms in harmonious tune

to the magical brilliance of the season

 

 

Sun bleached cantatas of warming desire

heat beckons paradise whims

shade, neath a canopy tempers the fire

breathless as moments begin

hummingbird melodies, firefly sighs

vacation smiles embrace

 

crystalline beaches and tangerine skies

endless this SUMMER we trace

 

 

Sun sets soft on Golden pond

dappled colors falling

chimneys puff in early morn

November breezes calling

orange burns of browns and golds

 in auburn decorations

Summer apples baked to pies

windowsill  scent-sations

flickered hints of candlelight

the Foggy morning mist

 

whisper sounds of windblown leaves

when all are AUTUMN kissed

 

 

A majestic crunch orchestrates
a path of steel toes across
a toasted marshmallow bath
illuminated by domestic rainbows
laying out the way towards
a morphing of the road into
a land of trees decked out
in defiant green poised to write
an overture eliciting a soundtrack
of popcorn-emulating crackles

 

in a wood stove melting WINTER 
with nature's heated breath

 

 

 

The year sings its anthemed harmonics

bowed to the wiles of wind and sun,

its moods wrapped in a florescent palette

of seasonal commands - silent, instinctive,

shadows softly mysterious;

in the passing of bee-hummed sips

 

from the year's verdant well,

Nature closes its eyes - and sleeps

Very nicely done. As I have said before collaberation is damn hard but this flowed nicely. Each section was complete unto itself but it all worked together as a piece. Well done one and all.

Well done my friends, beautiful collaboration. In my part of California not much of the changing seasons so this was a pleasure to read. 100/100

Many thanks, Traci, so grateful for your kind words about the collaboration. was great to be part of it. As said to BR. don't think i'd cope with a lack of changing seasons.. but then i've not experienced your weather!

Hello Tracy... Thank you for reading.. We don't have much of an Autumn really in my part of California either.. heavy sigh... xo

[Baby Ricochet]

Ah the changing seasons. I live in Florida. There's not much change to the seasons here

[Jack...]

Not in South Texas either, that is why i chose summer. :) Thanks my friend.

In spite of chillblains in Winter and not enjoying excessive sunshine (miserable mare!) I couldnt bear life without the changing seasons. Many thanks for reading our collab.

[Ravyne Hawke]

Bravo! Well done ladies and gents! Each segment of the poem was well done.. I could picture the seasons vividly through your imagery.

[Jack...]

Thank you Lori, it really is nice how this turned out. Each poet expressed themselves in the season they chose and beauty appeared

[emmajoy]

If you can picture the seasons through our imagery, perhaps it's because we all share a common love for the seasons! Many thank yous for such a generous review, Lori.
