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

Thanks Doc, but don't forget there were 5 of us in on this poem. Freida, ShallimarRose, Kublakhan, Emma Joy and myself. Everyone did a great job on this.

[Dr. Wood ?]

Yes....Like getting the 5 tenors of writing together...Isn't that cheating?...Ha ha

[Jack...]

Yeah it is, but I gotta do something to make myself look good. :)

[Dr. Wood ?]

you don't need that jack....It is good to see you all working together

[Jack...]

I'm like the Stuart Sutcliffe or Pete Best of the group

[emmajoy]

Laughing, think Jack is trying to look humble!!! :) Thank you so much for your review, it's been a pleasure to read just as it was to join the other writers.

[Dr. Wood ?]

you all make a great team...When's the wedding?

[Jack...]

No date set yet Doc, but you'll definitely be on the guest list. :)

[Dr. Wood ?]

Just don't ask for a speech..I am a man of few words...As I was saying to my wofe just the other day. People nowadays they rant on and on about such inane and unimportant twaddle. No; you will certainly NOT be getting that from me. I always say that if there is nothing interesting to say..KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT..But do they listen????
Oh I could go on......................

[Jack...]

I completely understand...don't let me stop you.

[Dr. Wood ?]

And another thing................................Well maybe not......Cheers jack
