Seasons

Missing image

Small clouds of bugs and honeybees buzzing
Twittering birds in the trees
The croaking of frogs in the calm of the dusk
And butterflies catching the breeze

The sound of the ocean churning afar
The clouds in the waning blue sky
And sunrays of warmth of the echoing summer
Move off as the autumn comes by

The mist of the mornings making us chill
The frost on the grasses and plains
The falling of leaves as the trees shed their coats
And the sound of the pattering rains

The warmth of the fires there in the night
The smell of the smoke in the air
The comfort of home, the cozy log fire
And the silence that travels the air

The snows of the winters are calling again
The cold nights are creeping around
The feet of Jack Frost upon the green grass
And winters breath comes floating down

The chill in our souls that keeps us indoors
Where we spend our days waiting there
For the coming of spring that will soon arrive
And bring back the warmth to the air

The sighting of buds that make their way out
The birth of the flowers is seen
The warm colors filling the gardens around
And spring is now making the scene

The birds that return from the migratory routes
Sing in the sun of the spring
And the sounds of the crickets lay claim to the soils
And the bees are all out on the wing

New life has sprung from the land once again
And the sounds of the young are in song
As we witness the coming of the next generation
Of wildlife that happens along

Flowers bloom proudly and stand everywhere
While the trees reach way up to the sun
And the butterflies fly as the honeybees buzz
And summer sets spring on the run

All of the seasons move there hand in hand
As we pass through them, onward we climb
Each has its time and time is forever
And the seasons are ever sublime

    Lady Condor writes another gem

    I come back to read and appreciate your poetic
    heart that brings to all eyes the four seasons.
    I am glad to live where I can experience the different moods of nature. I've lost interest to
    submit on this site, too few views for some reason.
    I'll be back to read your fine work.

    Excellent poetry dear friend. All seasons move past my senses as I read. Rhythm and meter match the changeing of the seasons perfectly. Well done.

    This is really great. You must make a pretty mean stew at dinner seeing how you just through ALL the seasons into this. Came out pretty good if you ask me.
    Meter is beyond perfect!

      Thank you. My stews consist of lamb shanks cooked slowly for four hours until the meat falls off the bone and then use the juices to create a vegie gravy to cook the vegies in. Sounds pretty good, hey! I die for lamb shanks!
