Four Seasons

The joy of Spring,

Freshness in the air

New buds on the trees

Long, lazy days

 

The birth of Summer

Its warm, gentle touch

Smiles and sunshine and ice-cream faces

Barbecues sizzle on sun-screen shores

 

Autumn changes everything

Green leaves; now red, now dead

Days are short, shirt-sleeves now long

A bite in the air

 

Winter gloom and long dark nights

Snowmen and sleds; hot drinks and warm beds

The festive cheer brings soon, another year
