Seasons: a Collaboration with Willard Wells

SPRING

like the skies at dawn         rain flooding the street

the new year brims with color             sand bags filled by volunteers

and promises warmth              time short to save house

SUMMER

trees catching sunbeams                     heat scorches the earth

paint the land with precious shade      drying the land from the heat

where cool breezes hide                     all creatures suffer

AUTUMN

leaves that loved the sun       leaves vivid color

now welcome the gentle moon          clogging drains as rain falls hard

with striking color         flooding streets and yards

WINTER

flakes flutter lightly      snow falls and piled high

a surprise for morning eyes      roadways clogged with trucks and cars

from cold starry skies      traffic at standstill

Something new from you Matt. You pen down the insights of the beautiful nature so well. God bless

[mattavelli]

Thank you, Mitali. What's your favorite season?

[Mitali Shah]

Winter is my fav :)

[mattavelli]

Why do you like it?

[Roland Petrov]

There are two sides to almost everything. I love autumn leaves but hate clogged drains. Heaven and Hell are a different story: I hate them both equally.

[mattavelli]

Thanks, Roland. Do you ave any plans for after you die?

[Roland Petrov]

Purgatory!

[mattavelli]

What would be your preferred season in purgatory?

[Roland Petrov]

There aren't any seasons in purgatory; they've been purged.

[Cherry Pepperweb]

Wonderful collaboration! Fine poetry but the layout and colours really enhance it.

[mattavelli]

Thank you, Cherry. What's your favorite season?

[Cherry Pepperweb]

I'd have to say Summer. :)

[mattavelli]

Autumn is my favorite. That first cool dry day is my favorite day of the year.

[Cherry Pepperweb]

Autumn is beautiful too, as is spring. But I'm driven by my passion for swimming, cycling, hiking, camping. I also love winter for skiing, boarding, sledding. They are all special though in their own way. As you two have shown us. :)

[mattavelli]

Coming soon, indoor hiking. Haha

[Cherry Pepperweb]

Lol! Nothing like getting closer to nature! I think I'll pick up a fishing game for the Xbox. :)
