Ok, My Pretties, you are a handful of my most treasured poets here on AP. I’m hoping you’ll grace me with the honor of your presence and bring your beautiful talent to this contest.
What I’m looking for are poems on all four seasons, not just one season, and not on holidays. I’d like to see the seasons flow from one to the other. Imagery and metaphors are a huge plus. Form poetry is also a plus, but please explain the form in you’re an, because I can be a moron.

Here’s a favorite of mine that I wrote:
Seasons Pass
~*~
Ice storms
wrap crystal sheathes
around sleeping woodlands
bringing life and light to those who
would image the splendor of God’s artwork
and see beyond the destruction
of such cold and brutal
falls of last night’s
ice storms
~*~
Melting
arrives with Spring
as buds shine beneath glass
waiting for their time to peak up
and greet the world in all its radiance;
bathed in sun and showers to grow
until drought takes hold and
leaves look like they’re
melting
~*~
Cool gust
brings in crisp fall
and relief from dry thirst.
Clouds fly over waving goodnight
to Mother Nature as she prepares Her
stem children for Winter’s coming
around the bend to put
buds to sleep in
cool gust
~*~
Please enter and have fun with this. Love and peace to all of you!!

Thank you for your gracious invitation...
I am honored you've thought of me. It means a lot to have you as my AP Sister... 
This is the season my muse is on vacation. I really love your beautiful poem, 'Seasons Pass.' You are so gifted!! Good luck, and have fun, everyone!!

I apologize but I am pulling my reserve from your contest. There is a new policy at AP where anyone who adds you as a friend gets an email every time you write a poem. I do not want my work sent to the email of every Tom, Dick, and Harry, nor do I feel that I should have to block every one that adds me.
I will not be writing new poems on this site in the forseeable future. I have thought about this carefully before taking this position. I am sorry.
Mike
