Her job was to change the seasons
The four hung upon a wall
The cycle had no reason
It had just always been Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall
But one day she got to thinking
"Why is Spring first and Winter last?"
"And why must Fall wait
Until Summer has come to past?"
So she took the frames
And switched them up
She thought she was doing good
But it turns out the world wasn't ready
And panicked when things weren't as they should
The leaves all changed in February
And a blizzard came in June
A heatwave scorched December
And in October came the monsoon
She saw the world in turmoil
And quickly switched them back
But still today she wonders
Why must the seasons be like that?

Wow this was beautiful!! I love your original thoughts in this, as having the girl in the picture switch around the seasons, then wonder why the season are in that order and why winter has snow, why summer is hot, fall is chilly, and spring blooms flowers. Excellent take on the prompt! thanks for taking the time to enter my contest & best of luck
